....Hey 'tuck.......didnt der Germans make some form of kilns to dry-or cure- their walnut stocks out quicker...???....mebbe you can rig something for some of the slabs as a test???...I think they had to put some kinda weight on them to minimize warping too...???... just a thought :bigrin:

Kiln dried wood is never as good as the same wood naturally seasoned.
Three years is a minimum for natural seasoning of Walnut, five is better, and some stockmakers prefer 8-10 years.

I have some slabs of Walnut for pistol grips that have seasoned for twenty years. About time I made a couple of pairs of grip panels.

I have a couple of pieces laid aside intended for Enfield fore ends, seasoned for over 15 yrs. More I look at these the less I want to start on them, they are solid as rock.
