If you get it from a sawyer, you are buying green wood (I suspect
you know that).

Some sawyers have kilns. One I know in Southern MD has a Solar kiln.


So stack the flitches and sticker them and let them
air dry.

The rule of thumb is one year for each inch of thickness of the stock.

Then rough out the stock, bring it into the shop and let
it air dry for a week. Then work it to final dimension.
