    I cut some white pine back in March. I finally got around to bringing it to my buddy that is a Timberking dealer. Had him do a few 3" slabs for a bar in my kitchen and the rest in 3/4" for my living room. image.jpeg image.jpeg

    I thought so too!! I'm hoping by late spring. I have it in the garage with a fan blowing on it.

    The 3/4 won't take nearly as long.

    It depends how tall I build the bar. The antler chandelier hangs kind of low.

    If you're going to put a fan to it, have it blowing across the middle instead of towards the ends. I've had some lumber in my basement workshop over the summer; and there's a dehumidifier that runs down there 24/7. Some pieces are 2" thick and they're drier than the stuff you can buy from the big box store.

    Awesome pics man! :binoculars: I love the pine theme you have going already! :thumbs:

    The fan is in the middle on oscillate. Thanks for your advice.
