: Lee I cut some cedar strips from a board that was air dried for a year.I
: taped the strips into packages of 15 and left them for about a month. When
: I went to use them some of them were alright but some bent like a snake
: when I took the tape off. I don't know a good answer for you, just what I
: had happen to me. My strips where kept inside my work shop on racks that
: support them the full lenght of the strip.Good Luck

I don't know how green my white cedar was when I milled it, but some of my strips did the same thing. As if all the internal stresses of the entire plank were shoved into these one or two strips.
