Yesterday I removed a charge of 2" cypress that had been in my solar kiln since early June, I think. It really came out nice! Some of Ivey's stuff, almost totally knot free! I'll sell some of it if anyone is interested.
I replaced it with approximately 700 bf of some pretty nice white oak, 8' and 10' lengths, mostly 6 and 8 inch widths. Should make some nice furniture about next spring.
The oak had been air drying for about a year and the MC is 17-20%, so I'm hoping to get it down to <10% eventually.
