I just received several hundred board feet of freshly sawn red oak, that needs to be stacked and stickered. The question that I have is what material to use for the stickers. There are one or two boards that are junk, and can be cut for stickers, but that is not nearly enough to do the whole load. I do have a large pile of dry walnut that is still stickered (with walnut stickers). Can I use the walnut for stickers, or will that cause a problem with the dreaded sticker stain ?
This is beautiful wood, a mixture of 4/4 and 6/6, and is nearly perfect. Many boards are 16" wide. I certainly don't want to do any damage by improper drying.
I have never stacked and stickered freshly cut wood, so any help is appreciated.
