[QUOTE="Bill Barber, post: 925274, member: 57910"] All good info, thx. More info.Is gabon ebony, 18 mos air dried, log will be slabbed to 2x2x12 inch pieces for my material, will be waxed but still to wet for my application@ 14% H2o content. But I have a couple tricks to get it ready for turning. Microwave it, two mins at 30% power, do this over the course of a couple days about ten times, or soak in denatured alcohol for 5 days, air dry for 15, works like a charm:) The above is done after I run it thru the planer and cut to size.
