How do i dry black walnut lumber?
Cutting and Applying Sealant on the LumberIf the black walnut lumber is old, cut half an inch from both the sides of the lumber with a saw. Apply a sealant at the ends of the lumber. The sealant could be latex paint, wax, or purchased sealant. The sealant will prevent the lumber from drying and cracking.Placing Small Boards Between the WoodPile the lumber pieces in different layers. Place a small board between them to ensure they do not touch and have proper air circulation. Stack the light boards on the bottom and heavier on the top. This protects them from warping.Drying the LumberThe lumber must be dried in a place where there is covered space where there is good ventilation and no direct sunlight.
