Been a long time, Osage question

<< < (2/2)

osage outlaw:
Where was the stave stored?  If it was in house house, it should be ready for the hot box.  If it was in the garage, it might be a good idea to rough it out and bring it in the house for a couple weeks before the hot box. 

Hamish:
 I never trust an osage stave without some sort of coating on the back, until its floor tillered, bending enough for a string. Some osage likes to check, especially in larger sections, when the back isn't sealed.

Lee Lobbestael:
I'm not sure how it was stored. I bought it online. I sealedthe back and will bring it to a stiff floor tiller Monday. Moisture content on the surface already dropped from when I first made this post

bradsmith2010:
I think if you take your time tillering ,, it will dry as you go,,

Lee Lobbestael:
Brad, that was kinda my thought
