I know it sounds crazy but othere than getting kicked out of the house by
SWMBO....................I don't see why it would not work.

http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/ Is a good place to start. The search feature
will return all kinds of information, which will be more meaningful _after_
you read Ch 3 of
http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/fp.../fplgtr113.htm to find out
the basics of wood and water.

Having once dried willow in SWMBO's microwave, I would not personally risk a
dryer. But, as you'll see, warming the air lowers the relative humidity and
exhausting warm, moist air allows cooler, dry air to come in and be warmed.
Kilns work this way.

You can also let the ocean of air dilute and disperse, though I would favor
a microwave. YOUR microwave, not hers. Longer and lower settings are what
I've used.
