wood

Scot, the problem with paying for shipping green stock is the excessive water weight, some hardwoods at ctting can have a water to wood weight ratio of 300%. That's literally a ton of water

FWIW, if the trailer has open sides,it should present no problem in drying. However,if it is enclosed you may get a load of poor quality stock due to the lack of air circulation.

If you can get it 12% you should have no problem with plugs.

As an aside, would it be possible to stop by your shop to get some ss wire?
