Welcome to the forum rabbitohs21. :) My standard drying method is to slat the plank with solid spacers (top and Bottom)and secure the spacers with clamps to prevent cupping, try and store in a constant temperature area with good air circulation. i presume that you got the slab from Malaney, some of what was being slabed was not too green so the length of time for drying will vary.
