I understand the cutting lumber is not for everyone but I have a lot of great red oak and walnut and at $0.25 board feet for cutting them I had to try this.
From your earlier posts I can tell you are familiar with sawing logs for lumber. I just want to emphasize how important it is to build a level and supported stack for air drying. Good, even dimensioned stickers are important too. Cover the stack and weigh it down to keep everything as flat as possible. Walnut is a fairly easy material to dry. It remains stable and is a delight to work in the shop if only air dried. Oak is a little more difficult. I've cut and dried lots of both. Walnut is my favorite.
