Default Air drying lumber

Geez talk about mediocre wood. Most were pretty damp and I am
hoping
it was because they got rained on.


They keep them wet at the store so they don't warp _before_ you buy
them.


Heck, they keep them in bondage so they don't warp. Cut the bonds, watch them warp.

Now if they would *only* take that pallet of material and give it time to dry out in the
parking lot, sheltered from rain for a few months, it would be pretty good stuff.
