Ok, so I have a lead on a guy that is selling green wood for .55 a board foot. He is a trucker and drives up to West Virginia and buys trees, brings them back and has a bandsaw mill and cuts to dimensions. So I'm picking up some cherry, maple, chestnut, and white oak from him next week. He is cutting into 1" and 2" thicknesses.
Question is, how long does it need to dry when stacked? I've heard a year for every inch. Is this true and does it dry faster with fans on each end constantly on?
