Nice looking logs. Does the microwave oven fill up with steam when you dry them? You must have a much bigger oven than we can buy over here in the UK!

I found one at WalMart that was very inexpensive, but it has one limiting dimension of nine inches in height. I am disappointed to have to cut the bonsai bust down to this measurement. The width of the oven is twelve inches, and the depth is fourteen.

I use oven roasting bags to contain the steam/water. It helps to dry the cut wood faster, too.
