In my mind now two route ,to finish stock and seal it very well and never keep it in direct sun contact during storing ,or leave it after shaping for another 6 months but drying will cause moving and it may cracks ,I remember when I bought it from lumber yard I laminate 13 mm each , keep it for 2 month in covered open store check the density\weight almost (700-760) ,is their any other route ?
padouk is hard wood and lamination without fully drying is a headache
