Default Air drying lumber properly

For 8ft long lumber, how many supports should one use when air drying?

That's why you got answers like to shim the 2' to 3' for
drying. We're metal workers, here.

Incidentally, read out loud, that is "Two foot to three foot
for drying".

Probably got the same answers here. Woodworking and metalworking are not mutually
exclusive.


Maybe not, but wood burns horribly when being OA welded.
