You people do give a new definition to "kiln dried."
My hat is off to you for the innovation shortcut.
Like to try that with a million board feet per day?

One good way if the piece is not too big is to soak it in alcohol for a day ( no not the drinking kind ) then let air out for a couple of days. I also know someone that puts his half done work in a back with silica gel (for drying plants) and swears it works great.

sorry he puts it in a bag not a BACK. Less painful that way!
