The wood was tarped and air dried for 2+ years. Rough size was 2.5" and 2". My plans are to make them into my bar top. 6' long 22" wide. My thoughts are to take them downstairs for a week and see if they move at all. Their 12" x 72+" x 1.5+". I left them big so in case they move. Is a week enough in a dry basement? How long do you think it will take to darken again? Obviously from the picture you can see that their much lighter than the other cherry around it.
