Lengthwise Warp

How long are they?

Are they twisted or just bowed?

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

I see that you live in MA. If your wood was stored basically in outside air conditions, it may have picked up moisture when brought inside your basement. In the Winter, the outside air, especially in below freezing temperatures, is extremely dry. You probably need considerably more than a week or two for your wood to become climatized when you bring it inside.

Let it sit for a few weeks longer, as it may still be soaking up moisture, and may yet move some more.

GaryK – They run about 40” in length.

Biowa – My cellar is unheated…at the moment, temp is probably between 45 and 55 depending on the actual outside temp…and probably almost as dry as outside, given the rest of the house is very dry. That being said, I will let it sit for a while longer…

Thanks!

I would also let them sit for a while before doing anything. Make sure that air can circulate between the
boards.

If that doesn’t do it, then you could joint and then plane then to size.

Thanks Gary,

I have all the boards “stickered”, I will let it sit for a few more weeks.
