Hi,
I just rough cut all my rails stiles and panels from some hard maple that has been in my shop for many months, the lumber was kiln dried. I had it stored on my lumber rack but they were not on stickers.
Do any of you folks let your rough cut stock sit for a week or two between stickers, and dry out a bit more, and "move", prior to dimensioning and gluing up, to reduce warping? Or is that overkill?
I'm wondering how this high humidity here in Michigan lately would affect the stock now that it’s rough cut.
Thanks for any input.
