I have a Black (Wild) Cherry tree that just came down. Thinking of trying to use some to build a Ukulele. Anyway, I plan to try and split or saw off some thin slabs, and if that works then sticker and weight them down. Small enough to keep inside on a shelf. Plan to melt wax over the ends.
However, I was wondering about drying in a microwave. I've seen several web pages devoted to this and wonder if anyone has tried this recently on wood of the 1/4 x 9 x 12 size. Looking through past threads the objects were usually pen blanks or rough bowl turnings.
