How long to dry freshly cut wood?
I have heard a rule of thumb for 1 year/inch. (I understand that is
dependent on humidity, temperature, air circulation, species, etc. and I have to get a moisture meter to know what is going on; but that is all besides the point of my question) I cut some 3' 3x3s from wood that wasn't any good for boards. Might need them for table legs someday, who knows. Will they take 3 years to dry (or at least three times as long as the 1" wood) or will being square make them dry faster? hopefully this is my last lumber making question. I am out of wood and everything is painted and stacked. Whew. |
