Default Anyone here tried to dry wood with the rack in a clothes dryer?

That sort of potential domestic disharmony is no joking matter, and
makes the 40 watt bulb in an insulated box (or the dedicated shop
microwave) look like a very sensible investment.

I would also suggest (as others have) at least rough-turning to a
thick-walled state your bowl blanks - they dry a lot faster that way,
and are more prone to reshape/warp (which you'll turn off when finish
turning) rather than split (it's two small bowls - or perhaps a couple
of chessmen?...)
