Build the stack correctly
Level foundations, aligned dry stickers, consistent spacing, protected tops, weighted rows, and open airflow reduce avoidable warp and stain.
Traditional drying
Air drying: time, airflow, and disciplined stacking.
Air drying reduces moisture gradually using outdoor or shed conditions. Success depends on stickers, spacing, cover, restraint, end sealing, airflow, species, climate, and patience.

Expect seasonal limits
Air-dried stock equilibrates with local conditions and typically requires additional controlled drying for heated interiors.
Thick slabs take time
Drying rate slows dramatically with thickness. Aggressive schedules can turn a valuable slab into a checked or honeycombed loss.
