Cody Culpepper Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I was recently give these 3 oak slabs and I’m trying to sell them cause I don’t have the means to do anything with them. I’m not 100% sure what kind of oak it is so I have no idea how much to get rid of them for. I’m hoping someone here will be able to help me out.

wtnhighlander Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Depends on how green they are. If they haven't been dried already, you will probably have pizza slices in a few weeks, instead of cookies. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Honestly, I have no idea what drying practices are necessary to keep a cookie from splitting. Painting the end grain with something to retard the loss of moisture, and being very patient is the only process I have any knowledge of. Maybe someone else will chime in with knowledge of a faster way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin-IT Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 I have dry cookies without major cracks/slice. You must slow down the drying process as much as you can. I double wrap them in craft paper for a year and used anchor seal on it, and left them in an unheated garage. After a year, I used a router to plan them with a sleight and on the under side, I made cut going toward the center of the cookie, without reaching the outer edge/center 1 inch or so deep. It has spent 3 winter in a heated home, with no cracking. I did try to use anchor seal, or soaking them in antifreeze, without wrapping them in craft paper and they did crack. Also these were cut in the spring, with the hot summer in the short term, while they other were cut in the Fall, with a very slow drying winter. Where are you located ? I could be interested by them.
