Thanks for all the replies. I think I'm gonna see if I can pick up a second hand microwave (I don't think my old lady would appreciate me using hers) and try that. In the mean time, I'm gonna find some larger pieces of hickory and start air drying them for future projects. Thanks again, this really helped me out.

I picked up a few old hammer heads at a flea market with the intention of putting new handles on them. I could go out a buy handles but would rather make my own. I cut a couple of nice sturdy, straight hickory limbs but i don't know how to dry them. Any suggestions? Thanks
