DB don't you mean store the timber at least 6 months ? (you typed 6 weeks)

we're going to the wood show Saturday so might try this out DB, store the timber in the shed for 12 months.
I even got a camphor slab from 12 months ago

Oops! Well spotted Woks.
Yes six Months is what I meant to say...

Also best to store your timber in as static environment as possible.
A hot in summer and damp and cold in winter tin shed probably isnt the best environment

I will try to remember to bring my moisture meter on Saturday, will be interesting to see the readings on some chunks of tree at the show..
I got booted out of one over east because I called shennanigans on a so called reputable dealer for selling kiln dried timber that was reading 35%.... It should have been between 6-12%

[wokkaboy]

so treat drying out of the timber like a good red wine DB ie fairly constant temperature ?

classic they threw you out of a wood show for proving them wrong. 35% sounds very damp timber

hope a few customers were turned away at least

[dingobass]

Yep, a constant temp and humidity is best.
It drives Miss Fe mad when I stack timbers in the loungeroom

haha tell her the wood stash is like fine wine and must be treated as such, don't worry about the extra space it takes up

Good job on calling them out man, sometimes we put too much faith in the so-called "experts" and half the time are probably unwittingly being duped.
It's too bad you can't get a meter you poke into everything before you buy it.
