Milled Parts

When I break down larger pieces of wood, I mill them to about 1/8 to 1/4 thicker than I need to net, depending on their size. Then I give them a couple of days to relax.

I like to store my milled parts is with clean dry hardwood stickers like the lighter colored beech strips you see between the walnut. I then weight the stacks down with larger pieces of wood.

The stickers provide a spaces which allow for circulation and the weight helps to keep the pieces flat.
