In each of our homes,AZ. and SW CO., it is very dry and my way of drying is to use large Wal Mart plastic tubs with lids. When the work is roughed out it is put into the tub to dry. I put the lid on to slow the drying. Daily I remove the lid, check the pieces for checking, CA any evidence of cracking and re lid. After a couple of weeks of this I start leaving the lid off for an hour or so and re lid.

This process is fairly fast, generaly about 10 weeks to dry. Most of my work is 8" up to about 18" in Dia. and 1" thick. Little loss and extremly easy.

Good turning and be safe
