I came into three 8/4 walnut slabs today. Moisture meter reads 30%. How long can i expect it to take to get,to 10% or so if I stick stack them outdoors? I am going to see if there is a local kiln service, but I suspect they may want more than the $1.50/bf I paid for this. Like to work these before I forget why I bought them 😜


It depends on the environment in which they are stored/stickered. If outside, to what environment will they be subject? To what temps and humidity will they be subject? You omitted those details.


Second thought: What is today's value of the slabs? They may be worth paying to kiln-dry. I've learned to not be stuck on what I paid for something; I value what it is worth today.

If you don't remember what you wanted to use them for, I could use a nice ramp from my back porch to my deck. ;-)
