Don’t know what sort of numbers your talking about. 10, a dozen, many 10s ? Since you’ve had a lack of replies, here’s my 10 penorth. I wrap mine in paper as you suggested, sometimes I’ve used wood shavings, and sometimes I’ve placed the wrapped blanks in open topped plastic bags on a shelf. If you use several blanks in larger boxes, it would be a good idea to have some holes cut into the boxes to allow for better circulation. When I’ve used plastic bags, I’ve checked them regularly and turned the bag inside out on each occasion. Whatever system you use, always ensure that you have good quick access to them, so that you can weigh them regularly. If they are out of site and out of mind this won’t happen as it should. I have always checked mine on a weekly basis and fill in a drying record sheet for each one. It’s can be surprising how different species give up their locked in moisture at different rates. I find I am often good at giving advice and less good at following my own advice. One thing I’ve been guilty of is not always leaving a “witness” mark of the centre on each side of the part turned bowl, so useful when returning centres. I think your wrapped and boxed process is the right way to go. It would be easy to create some rails into a rack to put a greater number of blanks into a smaller space, but I fear it would dry them too quickly. I have a Dehumidifier running more or less continuously in my workshop. Wrapped and boxed is the way to go. I don’t have many failures with that system.
