white oak

Yesterday I picked up a small load of white oak... enough to make many boxes or several pieces of small furniture. It has the potential of different interesting things. It must be dried first though some folks do work with green wood. Wood shrinks significantly when it dries, and can warp. So for my use, I'll stack it with strips of wood between layers, allowing air to flow around it on all sides. 

In about a year it will be ready to use. The common understanding suggests one year of drying for each inch of thickness, though that may vary dependent on the amount of air flow around the stack, and how dry the air is in the environment.
