If you wait until the wood dries you will be amazingly unhappy. As

I'm surprised. Mainly because dried oak is cracked while wet oak is
seamless. But, it must be (for some reason) that wet wood is easier to
split than dried wood as someone would have said otherwise by now.

Wait. *You're surprised you didn't know something? *It's quite clear

Having an inflated opinion of your unsubstantiated opinion is hubris.

I could get a unit of 2x4's down into the 12% moisture content
range (from 30%+) in a couple weeks.

I wonder how we measure moisture content in percent at home?

Cut a piece of wood, weigh it, heat it up in the oven at a low
temperature for a while, weigh it again. *Do some math.

Or buy a moisture meter. They ain't that expensive.
