Mike,
I don't think leaving the wood to sit to soak up moisture is going
to proceed very quickly. I've heard something like 6-12 months per inch of
thickness of the wood to get a consistent moisture level?

Yes, some of it. It's very old and I am waiting for any reaction that might

Mike, I used some Douglas Fir on my first aircraft, that came out of an
old house. It was very dry so I let it set outside for a couple of weeks to
raise the moisture level.
