Drying the pine

The fir that has been stacked in the guest suite is now dry. I moved this down to the workshop and stacked some of the wet pine. The moisture tester showed that it the moisture content was above 20%. The wood has some nice character, much of the wood has nice beatle stain and the quality of the wood looks good.

I will have to restack the rest of the wood and put stickers between the boards to ensure that they dry evenly. That will be tomorrows job.

I like the idea of a simple pine box, for those who are uncomfortable with cremation. In his 2nd memoir Anthony Quinn said he wanted his body to be left on a mountaintop to be devoured by animals. But either he changed his mind or his wishes were not carried out!
