drying wood
The method was developed by Ron Kent of Hawaii. He started doing it to
help with sanding Norfolk Island Pine. I use it. Take a mix of half cheap brown hand dish washing soap, and half water. Soak bowls for 24 or more hours. I rinse them off after taking them out, you don't really want the soap to dry on the wood as it will clog your sand paper, but comes off easily with the eraser sticks. I turn thin green wood to final thickness (1/4 to 3/8 inch), and let them dry and warp, then sand and finish. The only thing the soap does is make the wood a lot easier to sand out. I do wrap the outside of the bowl with a couple of layers of newspaper, then secure it to the rim with some of the plastic stretch film that you wrap around boxes on a pallet. Let the film over lap on the inside of the bowl about an inch, and round over your rims. Then cut out the paper on the inside of the bowl. They are dry in about 10 days. Never tried it on thick turned bowls that you return later. robo hippy On Jan 14, 8:17*pm, "Bill Noble" wrote: is there an echo here? * don't do it "Doug Miller" wrote in message ...
