Active vs Passive Seasoning?

I'm a wiper on the cabs.. but they are solid cedar and Mahogany. Probably always preferred to let it be done through evaporation. Difference in time would be a big variable based upon the starting point. The drier the wood the longer the difference would be.

Putting waded up paper towels on a dish soaked in distilled is a way of getting more evaporative suface area ... decreasing the seasoning time. It's much faster than just a container of liquid.
