Ahhh good question! Buckeyes fresh from the nut shell or fresh off the tree will mold if not dried completely. I have use the oven...low setting 250 and let em sit on a rack for 4 hours. However, sun drying is the best. Lay buckeyes out on some type of cloth, single layer, in the sun for at least 5 to 7 days. (thats full sun days, not cloudy overcast days) Your biggest enemy at this time is squirrels. They can and will rob you blind if nuts are accessible. I tend to lay them out in the morning and gather them up and take in the house at night. A fresh buckeye will be somewhat "oily" to the look and feel. Some even sweat a bit. A good dried buckeye will not have that "oily" feel.
Once dried, you may want to spray them with a clear coat finish of some kind. This will prevent them from dulling and looking worn if makeing jewerly. Hope this helps.

Lay them out on a screen not touching in a cool dry place and leave them alone.
You can use a fan to promote dryng.
Also a food dehyrdator would be faster.
I would not use an oven as that will cook the meats.

When using buckeyes to make jewelry do you need to bake them first?
No, just leave them sit. They will preserve them selves. I recomend drilling them when they are fresh then letting them dry out either on a necklace or off of the necklace.
