Wouldn't steaming the bark accomplish a similar result? And furthermore, regardless of how you initially wet the bark, once it has reached the desired saturation point, what if you then microwaved the bark? Wouldn't micro-wave radiation cause the water in the wood to further heat up and expand without losing the dolomite? What would happen to the wood then? Just brain storming since I don't have any on hand to experiment with.
