Part two of our wood drying experiment we started 6 months ago. Initially after reclaiming wood from fallen tress we part turned 8 and set 4 to air dry and 4 in a box with their shavings. Today is the day we take our experiment to the next step, we find out how the drying has gone and test turn a couple of the bowls. All this wood has cost us nothing so what ever happens we win.
