Nice score Ian. Looks like a fair amount of spaulting happening in the timber too. Now the LONG wait till it's dried out enough to turn.
I never forget anything I remember !!

Ian, I have had great success with Olive wood g dried up in my roof. Since my last drying we have had a fan fitted up in the roof that cycles in when the roof temperature exceeds 17 degrees now after our heavy frost even around 10 am for some hours the temp in the house gets to 18 degrees through a Hep filter and 7 inlets in the house proving even in the winter there is a lot of heat to make use of especially for pen blanks. Some Olive amongst these. RHS second Pic
Kind regards Peter.Nil Desperandum

If all you are after is pen blanks, cut it into slabs 25mm thick ASAP to dry

Touch against your face, you can usually feel the moisture, but otherwise use a moisture meter
