Torrified wood
Sorry spell check got the best of me, the title Should read Torrified. I'm really not trying to find ways to scare the wood.
Anyone here trying this on their own? I used to repair electronics that were hermetically sealed units. I was wondering if I could make a container with a pressure relief valve that as it was heated expanding air could escape but no air could get back in. Fill it with something inert and heat away. I don't want to turn anything to charcoal. So I was curious if anyone has given this a try yet. Thanks!
Keep in mind the wood I have to work with is at least 15 years old some closer to 20 that I have kept inside my house. Before that, it was with Orcas Islands and I do not believe any of it was fresh cut wood to start with. I wouldn't be surprised if some of this has been in billet form for 25+ years. For grins, I am going to put a piece in a black garbage bag and set it in the sun a couple of hours then open it up and see if any moisture collected. I think a couple of hours should be enough, this afternoon after it warms up a bit.
I am not sold on trying it myself and I really want to get this wood all split and joined today or tomorrow if at all possible. I think I have waited plenty long to let it season.
