cattykid123 122 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Not bothered if it's slow won't be making out out of it any time soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.338winmag 78 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I usually seal the ends with wood glue at the very least and set em aside for at least a year ,though i've heard of using a microwave to dry em out as well i never went for that ,a wood stove with the item suspended above would be more to my likeing ,or even over a heater ,a fairly closed up car or other vehicle can dry wood an other such items out quite fast also if used in the summer .

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Not bothered if it's slow won't be making out out of it any time soon Cut the fork over-size, seal the ends with wax and just leave it hanging in the shed. You need it to try naturally, ideally, but you can use microwaves etc if you're impatient. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the big chief 3,099 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 all i did was cut it longer than i need and stick it in the microwave for 10 secs take it out let it cool and repeat 5 times its called forced drying Quote Link to post Share on other sites
