In another thread, the idea of ripping 2x material came up, and there was a general consensus that, even though the KD lumber has been kiln dried, it is still pretty wet, making it unsuitable for ripping.
This is a follow up to that topic ... suppose I wanted to "finish" the drying of that 2x material, so that it would be acceptable stock for ripping.
So ... how would I go about such a task? Is it just a matter of separating them 1/4" or so (I have paint stirrers I can use for that!) and letting them sit for some amount of time? If so, how long would that be, if the location was an unheated (but attached to the house) garage?
