You might not need braces on the floor, but adding them in the back or at the top can make the whole structure more solid without getting in the way. -

My name is Nick, and I've been using metal and woodworking tools for professional and personal projects for the past 30 years. I've worked as an architectural blacksmith and built and repaired furniture. I currently work for Beaver Industrial Supply and look forward to sharing and learning more about tools and equipment. -
I would love it if I can air dry this wood and I plan to start that way. I've had good experience with air-dried wood - I got a bunch of cherry from my FIL which has issues but is ~75% usable and my friend has successfully air dried a handful of batches, including some hickory. Also, as folks are pointing out, hickory is hard and I believe air drying will help by not making it harder. My understanding is even for kiln drying you want to let the wood dry a little first to shed the loose moisture, especially when it's been harvested during the Summer, as this will have been. I've got indoor space lined up, as well as the stickers and banding and just ordered an inexpensive moisture meter. So, I'm going to stack it and monitor it. As long as it looks good, I'm going to let it dry. If something goes awry, or in a year it's clear it's not going to dry in my lifetime, then plan B. -
It seems like every couple of years MatchFit pays a handful of YT influencers to do some projects and I really like what Jay did back in 2021 (which this block was part of).
