Hardwood Storage

[Mikegtr]

I have various hardwoods bought over the years for guitar building--rosewood / mahogany / maple / ebony etc. They have been kept in an unheated garage--cold in winter--warm in summer. Before use would you 'climatetise' the wood at a constant temperature for a period of time? How long before use?

Yes, put it where it will go in the end if you can. Time depends on how thick it is and how wet it already is

Oh and “seasoning”, “acclimatising” etc. are all some weird way of saying “dry”
