they've been in a damp cold garage (wrapped in a tarp so not "wet" per
se)


What sized boards are we talking about? Or are these already glued up
worktops made from individual planks?


longest is abt 8ft X 2ft then 5ft X2ft

Hard to say construction details at mo but they *aren;t* modern glued
"stave" construction, they are old school lab. tops.... will have
another proper look in next few days

Plan would be to use em for kitchen worktops IF I have a reasonable
chance of straightening em out enough.....
