I am borrowing my inlaws Lucas Mill portable sawmill for a few months so I cutting up a storm right now. I cut down 5 trees last saturday and I am cutting them into boards as I have time. Here are some pics. I cut up 3 beech logs(1 tree) and 1 sugar maple log. I don't have pics of the maple but its nice, there is some spalting in it, or maybe its just staining where bugs went in the log in either case it will make some nice stuff. Here is where my drying question comes in. I want to make a snare drum out of some of the maple but right now its really wet. I was planing on air drying the wood but I would like to use some long before its dry. I have heard something about being able to dry wood in the oven. Does anyone have any experience with doing that. I don't need big pieces so the would fit in the oven.
