How long should timber be seasoned for ? I'm not thinking of air-drying and the usual rule of "a year an inch", but of the benefits (if any) of seasoning timber for maybe a decade or so. This has been a practice in the past, as an ideal or an acident, if more than by deliberate practice. Does anyone still do it ? Any benefits ? Any real basis to this, or is it just an old duffer's tale ?
