Iam building a timber frame sauna with cordwood infill. Iam using white pine for my timbers which I cut to 8x8 this past February. how long should I let them dry before cutting my joints?

I try to work my timbers as fresh as possible. White pine has low shrinkage to begin with. Are you worried about gaps with your infill?
