Hi guys

My order from Scottish Hardwoods turned up today. Very happy with what I got. 8 blanks in total and on close inspection only one has a visible crack and it looks like it's already been glued.

My question might seem a bit strange but I'm wondering where's best to store them. The reason I ask is that the majority of the last lot of blanks I had where heavily cracked and split. I did not check them when they came in and admittedly they did not have a wax seal around them. But my workshop is heated and the radiator can not be switched off at night as it helps keep the bedroom above warm. Not so much of a problem now we're heading into the summer.

Do you think I should store these blanks in the garden shed?

it depends on how dry they are - if they are kiln dried then they should be fine in the 'shop but if they are only part seasoned or air dried then you might prefer to keep them somewhere cooler.
