Composting wood waste?

I have access to quantities of wood shavings & sawdust, which I'd like to rot

I wouldn't put wood on my regular compost pile as that would slow things there.
I'd prefer to avoid using strong chemicals on the wood, but still find a way to
encourage the rot.
Any (polite) suggestions?
If you incorporate fresh greens, you can get that pile hot in no time.
Keep it turned at least once a week and keep it moist, not soaked.
