not sure, Marty, breaking spent reisi blocs apart requires very strong fingers, but i dare say that it would grow back into a mold quite easily. I should test that. making a spent block into the desired shape wouldn't work, I think. The nice skin-like texture would not be present in the middle of the substrate. it's more brittle on the inside. Then again, I used sawdust for my bowls, if something more airy, like seed husks or sraw wouldbe used, a "block" might be more suitable for further processing. I should test that too...

This is so cool. I really want to try this now 
What kind of oven was used? Can you tell us anything about the process your friend did to harden them off?

Im sure spent blocks would work well, just run em through a stout chipper then maybe even cut in some fresh hydrated fuel pellets to help em mend. worth a shot turning waste into product. I have 4 small bags ready for harvest and ill give it a shot.

Wow. I am difinitely going to have to try this. I wonder what kind of insulating properties it has.
So many possibilities...

just an electric oven, with air circualtion, at 100 degrees celsius, (373 Kelvin for our american bros;) 2 hours solidifies the moulds quite nicely.

bout 212 degrees Fahrenheit for those of us Americans with nothing more than typical kitchen ovens.

This is awesome man!
So, I know you bake 'em, but how well do they hold up against a flame?

I'll be sending some samples to meterial scientists, posting results in the beginning of next year. But from what i tested in the summer, a plate that's 5 cm thick can withstand a direct torch-flame for around 7 minutes, before the other side gets too hot to touch. Sawdust substrate is probably not the best candidate for fireproof elements, because it smolders a little. I reckon straw or seed husks would be better.
