Try a Harbor Freight 2.5 gallon paint pressure tank. Unscrew the dip tube from
the bottom of the lid and everything off the top to put in a hose fitting and
vacuum gauge. Plug any leftover holes. :)

I have an evacuation pump, but not a ready chamber big enough or strong
enough to put a spool in. I'll investigate some big pvc pipe. Maybe that
would work if 8" will take a spool. If I can find caps I can o-ring
seal. I dried a soggy hunk of maple that way for a gunstock 13 years
ago, but had to glue the caps on keeping it better than 27" hg below
atmosphere for about a year. Most stable piece of wood I ever carved,
plain straight grained stuff with cherry trim. Thumbhole style holding
up a cheap TC 50 cal BP rifle, gets the ooohs and ahhs at the range when
I drag it out. Also does 1.25" 5 shot groups at 50 yards too. Pretty
good for a $200 gun 25 years ago, with my mods of course. :)
