This isn’t so important for pine and 99% of the stock you can buy from Home Depot or Lowe’s, but it’s super important for hardwoods.

Also, don’t buy air dried lumber if you can avoid it. The kiln drying process actually collapses the wood’s cells and makes them less likely to absorb moisture again and it kills any critters that might be living deep inside the wood so they can’t burrow their way out later. This makes kiln dried superior to and far more stable than air dried wood.

Great tip 731, especially true for HW floors.

I go 3 days first in shop IF moisture meter is sub 11% with pin and pinless. Then I mill 1/32 off all sides and it sits another couple days, I go work on something else.

Rinse and repeat, I’ve found that doing the milling over a week seems to have resolved my issues. Milling exposes wood = sucks up more more moisture. Eventually it levels off (unless it was 90% humidity then 20% all over all week then oh boy we in for happy happy fun time!).

You should also use sticker sticks to help the wood dry more evenly and faster

I do my milling in my backyard. I pull all the tools out of my shed and set them up in the yard. So what should I do.

I thought acclimation was how your scrap pile got bigger! 😂😂😂 #YouMightBeARedneckIf
