you asked;

::::Have you got the space and patience (2 years)to air dry that lumber? Both the Cherry and Ash would be special.::::

the soft maple has already been airdrying for about 12 months. I have it stored (temp) in my cabin... which actually looks a lot more akin to a wood shed.

I'm looking forward to sawing some of the cherry and the ash (if the tree doesn't find it's good health again)...

any of these woods good for speaker cabinets???
