Just letting you guys know that I haven't given up or anything. I havent posted any pics lately becuase i do not have any wood, or wood that I can finish. I have been in the process of gathering wet wood from my property and elsewhere and I am giving the DNA drying process a wirl. Thanks to whoever posted the David Smith link on alchohol soaking a couple of weeks ago.

I do have a bunch of rough outs turned and they are all at different stages of the drying process. So far so good to this point. The bowls seem to be losing between 1 and 1 1/2 ounces per day. I don't see any of them warping or checking. I am hoping my first set will be dry this week otherwise I might just have to go to Rockler and buy a few pieces to finish. I am starting to show signs of withdrawel here.:(
