Default To Bag or not to Bag

I just turned a piece of mulberry (about 11.5 x 6.5d) to rough shape and
have set it back to dry. I heard somewhere that it was better to put the
piece in a brown paper bag than to leave it just set out in the open air.

So, (with apologies to the Bard) "To Bag or not to Bag, aye, that is the
question . . "

BTW, I have used LDD but always had shrinkage and warpage. I tried
soaking for 24 hours, 48 hours, no difference, still warped.



Since the rh here in middle Alabama is usually 70+, it looks like unbagging
is the way to go.

Thanks
