I was thinking fumes sucked out, that's all, not liquid.
ya, redwood is very lightweight. The grain is tough on turnings, you can't do much sanding at all or you get high and low spots.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Actually , the plugs turned out perfect , no problem with grain or sanding , and no high or low spots , I just wish the plugs were a little heavier . |

ok
the one thing that could be a problem is ; when you draw a vacuum on something you lower the flash point .... might not be a problem , but i'd do it outside just in case.
was thinking about it myself .......

 then you are doing good.
Try alaskan yellow cedar, it's heavier, or basswood. |

I also heard of people also using modified pressure cookers to impregnate the wood with various sealers but don't remember the rest of the details.

I hav'nt thought it all the way thru but is'nt a vacuum or lower atmospheric pressure the opposite of what you want, after all they don't vacuum treat lumber.
If you are trying to achieve maximum penetration, I would try and minimize the water content of the wood by drying it further than air dry. You could use a food dehydrator to accomplish that and then use a pressure vessel of some type to treat the wood with sealer.
I think i just thought it thru.
