Ok, local Amish mill had a 5 foot piece of Walnut that he would sell me for what I thought was real reasonable. I had him slice this into 4 and 5 inch thick slabs just about 58 inches long. I cut a couple pieces off the ends of two of those pieces to turn green bowls. I now have one piece 13" wide by 43 inches long and 5 and 3/4 inches thick, one piece 45 inches long by 10 inches wide by 5 inches thick, one piece 10 inches wide by 58 inches long and 5 3/4 inches thick, plus one piece about 3 inches thick by 7 inches wide by 58 inches long.

Should I try to dry some pieces in my little home made kiln, stack and let air dry for 4-5 years, then kiln dry, t urn everything I can get out of them now while green leave thick and seal for drying? What is your experience?
