Hi Beksolar,

I don't believe that is necessary at all...nor the way it would have been done. We use fresh timber for all our work, and EWP is very stable to begin with. I would further suggest that this subject of "green woodworking" is more a matter of skill sets and knowledge than not being able to do it. We have laid floors with green wood, and one of my students just finished a beautiful all wood joinery coffee table out of cherry that had not been out of the log but a few months...

Good Luck,

j
