Drying Wood for Turning Using Microwave?
I did it. 15 years ago. Must go slow.
Must have a unit in the shop for such. Wife would try the new knives out on you if the one in the kitchen was used! Use defrost. Slow and gentle. Want to wrap it in a cloth - damp to begin with and let it absorb the water and prevent explosions from going everywhere. Rare. Sometimes if there is sugar in the sap you will or can burn it. Smells like burnt sugar. This can color the wood or out-gassing to much steam might explode a thin wall. Use low power or pulse with defrost.
