What about vegetable dehumidifers, will they speed up the drying of small blanks? Anyone have any information on this? Preshate it.

Turn more blanks and rough outs each day, put them away for 6 months, keep on turning. Pretty soon you won't care how long stuff takes to dry; you'll have pleanty of dry blanks to finish turn each day. You brought the old flatwood mind set of "finish-what-you-start-before-starting-something-new" to turning where it doesn't apply. Just keep turning stuff and hauling out the shavings; that precious blank won't be any less precious 6 months from now when you get around to it in the rotation, and you'll have a better chance of making something out of it if you just let it dry naturally.
