To all
Background;
A few years ago I bought into a deal for some walnut logs with fellow 'Creeker, James White.
James milled the logs to 8/4 rough, sealed the ends and I now have two "flitched" walnut logs. One is about 8' long and 18" diameter. The other is roughly 12' long and maybe 22" diameter.
The logs have now been sitting, stickered, stacked, and banded, in a covered Shelter Logic, Quonset style, temporary building for 2+ years.
A week or so ago I took one of the odd cuts out of the pile, and just for fun milled it in the shop. The wood appears dry, and it is beautiful. Nice straight, tight grain. Uniform in color and dark. I'm pretty happy actually.
What is the next step in being able to use this lumber? Some I need to stay air dried because I have a project that will require steam bending, but the remaining I would like to have properly dried.
Where do I go next, and not screw up what I have??
Thank you
