    Doug Fir Breakfast Bar Slab

    I am building a breakfast bar using a slab of Douglas Fir that is 2X16X8 feet rough and will probably finish about 1-5/8 thick once the cup is planed out. I got the wood from the mill down the road and it is dried to about 10 percent moisture. I have the slab pretty flat now but have not started any finish planing. My question - where I live, the wood is going to probably stabilize at around 6 percent; should I let it sit for a while before I finish flattening or go ahead and flatten it and let it acclimate? Right now it is in my temporary shop which is heated to about 55-60 degrees and should have similar moisture as the house.
