I just finished sawing a massive shag bark hickory. Legend has it that hickory is not well behaved. I have no experience working with hickory never mind drying it. I had no idea it could be so beautiful. I am used to seeing the very dark heartwood stuff. That for my taste has to much contrast to the sapwood. This stuff is not at all like that.
So will these 8/4 slabs self destruct? They are at the bottom of a large pile of properly stacked lumber. But as you can see this is "character grade" lumber. I have shade cloth but I also don't want mold in the pile either. The stack is in a shady area as it is.
