Last weekend I bought some rough 4/4 air dried red and white oak. First time buying air dried and delighted with the price - $1/ft. The fellow that sold it (old guy with a wood mizer) said he guessed it was about 15% moisture content - been drying in his barn a couple years. Anyway, to get it acclimated to house conditions before I use it I stickered it in my basement by the furnace where it's about 50% rel humidity, 68 degrees. How long do you think I should wait? Don't have a moisture meter, however a 15lb board (per the bathroom scale) dropped a pound in four days. I live in NW Indiana, if that matters.
Thanks, Steve
