It near toowoomba QLD, but it would kinda be loodakris to post it here.
So what I was thinking was that since my Dad will be down in Sydney for a couple of days, maybe I could convince him to pick it up.
Hopefully.

Hmmm, that could still work. If Dad can't get near there on the way back, then I have relatives in Gloucester that might be willing.
*fingers crossed*

This timber has been cut since May (5 and a half months) and slabbed since July (3 and a half months) is it OK to start cutting it into boards on the table saw so that I can get it off of the garage floor and into the timber rack?

As no-one responded I decided to test a piece so here is my first English Oak plank. The final picture show some small cracks on one side only any advice on what to fill them with would be greatly appreciated. This plank has been cut and finished for about a week now. Comments welcome.

You really need to leave it racked longer, a guide to drying is 1" per year, so if the board is 2" thick, it need to be left for 2 years

The boards vary in thickness between 1/2"to 1". This is about 1/2" thick. Is it showning signs that it is too soon to cut and finish? If so can you point them out to me please.

Just to be clear here HH, you say the timber was cut May, is this when the tree was felled? And you then had the log slabbed in July.
If this is correct, then you need to apply your drying times from July when it was slabbed and stickered.
The 1/2" boards may be okay, hard to say really. Lots of variable come into play here, for example, ventilation, amount of rain you've had, density of timber.
The only way you can be really sure is either get a moisture meter or weight a couple of boards and then re-weight once a week to see if it's still dropping in weight as it loses moistureCheers

Yes slabbed in July
Does stickered refer to stacking it with spacers?
