First of all - hello! This is my first post. I have found these forums to be MOST informative and educational. I've only been working with wood for a few months, so I have a lot to learn!
I have several blocks of wood coming to me, in several different species. Some are maple, some are walnut, some plain, some figured. They are generally 2-3" thick and 2-8" wide, in a variety of lengths. They have been air drying for about 4 months. I *believe* that they are wax sealed on the ends. I intend to resaw these into 1/4-1/2 'slices' to use in making some small boxes. Therein lies the question! Let them dry longer (and for how long?) or go ahead and slice them up, stickering and weighting them for further drying?
Again - I have thorougly enjoyed reading these forums for the past several weeks and look quite forward to joining in some of the conversation!
Thanks,
Matt
