and take a really nice warped shape.
I'm very surprised by the amount of move by this wood dry for so long. The warping can be severe in other species too, but usually, it's when the drying occurs.

You need to sticker stack and weigh that down a lot for drying.

On those cookies I'm letting them warp and gonna make art out of them. 2d pics don't do the 3d warp justice.
For drying wood, assuming I mill some, I will store in a shipping conex and thought about making a giant sticker/clamp with some I beam or square tube and allthread. Also probably coat all surfaces to prevent surface cracks...pretty much guaranteed going to have to resaw. I was told to avoid the pith, so cut one slab above and one below. Maybe a beam from eather side....let the pith warp into a sculpture.

Sculpture is cool. I've been thinking of milling really thin pieces and adding uneven weight to distort it.
Agree with milling thick and resawing. I have a bunch of dry madrona slabs. Easier to rew than router sled flatten, I think.
Also, no tengo un router sled.
I wonder if router sled flattening will tearout more on erratic, figured grain.
