Beddy-Poacher 30 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I cut a couple of pieces of nice hazel wood down the local wood with the intention of making a walking stick. How long should I dry the wood for? And is it best to dry naturally or force dry on a radiator or so? thanks, atb, brad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
