Very cool! Will the wood need to sit and dry for a time before it can be used?

Yes, i am unsure of exactly how long, but probably at least a year if it doesn't get kiln dried. I'll talk to the mill, but i think you test moisture content to know when it is ready.

General rule of thumb is roughly an inch per year for drying time is what I've been told. There is plenty of info on the internet about how to store drying timber. Things like stacking, sealing the ends etc.

Kiln drying obviously is a much quicker process although I'm sure there are cons to doing that compared to air drying.
