Is it feasible to try and core a dried piece of walnut on a McNaughton Center Saver or any other dried piece for that matter?
The new Hunter Korpro slices through dry wood like it was butter.
That’s a good point Don. Best to let the cores from thick “dry” wood stabilize before the final turning. Weigh them after coring and then once a week until the weight loss stops.Like the others have said it can be done but any thick piece of wood is likely to crack if it does in fact dry. As far as walnut is concerned I have had many instances where the wood had been laying around for up to 30 years and when cut into it still had noticeably higher moisture in the core.
