I get it now. With a name like Rocker, what else would you be making? I really thought you liked music . When I cut it I'll try to get 2" boards. My brother uses it sometimes when he makes guitars and said it was white as snow. Usually the light colored woods (maple) need to be cut and put in the kiln quickly and you especially need to make sure to use stickers that ars kiln dried and light colored also. I'll keep you posted.
