[QUOTE="LL, post: 11146, member: 95"] Showme -- Set your oven on its [b]lowest[/b] temp, wrap the pipes tightly with several layers of paper towels, and stuff the bowls with---I'm not kidding, it is insanely absorbent---the filling from a disposable diaper or a tampon. Leave them in the oven overnight. The next morning, don't remove, just shut the oven off. Wait until everything's room temp again. You will have to wait a week or so before the stems will fit the mortise---the wood will have shrunk. It WILL return to normal, though, so be patient. DO NOT attempt to force the issue, the shank will very likely crack. [/QUOTE]
