I was wondering if anybody knows of a mail order source for green or air-dried lumber, specifically hickory, pecan or oak. I’m working on a Windsor chair and the kiln dried stuff I’m using just won’t hold up to steam bending. Comes out of the steamer and bends just fine, but within a couple of days it just cracks to pieces. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
