I am taking delivery of a large quantity (1000+ bdft) of 4/4 S4S Claro Walnut this week. It is coming from western Oregon and I live in arid Montana. I'm concerned about acclimating it. The wood won't be put to use until late next spring or summer.
I plan to build a 4' x 12' torsion box to set and shim on my somewhat unlevel concrete warehouse floor. I will then sticker the lumber using lath on about one foot centers. I'll top it with another torsion box and apply weight to the top. Or maybe I'll strap it to the bottom plinth?
Most of the lumber is in long lengths and 8" to 12" widths.
The warehouse is heated to 70 degrees.
Am I over-thinking this?
Is there a better affordable material for stickering?
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Scott in Montana
