"...after talking to at least a dozen experts and getting an equal number of conflicting opinions...this will effectively set some new standards in the drying world. I can't imagine why anyone would want to use traditional methods of air drying for several years then kiln drying for several months if vacuum drying can be so effective with such quick turnaround. Thanks again Dennis." - Parker Converse

"The experiments of drying various species and thicknesses has gone very well. The last load had such a mix of things to be sure I ran a slow ramp. 2" maple slabs, 1" twisted and warped Koa slabs with large crotch sections, 1" fir slabs (with no pitch problems) and fir 4"x4"x8' boards, even some spruce 1" and 1.5" blocks mixed in to shim areas of piles that were mixed thicknesses. Everything turned out great, most amazing was the Koa, color unharmed and flat! Hard to believe if anyone had seen how warped they were going in they would not believe that they were the same boards!" - Steve Farrell, Pacific Rim Tonewoods
