The main issue is what do you want to do with them? If using them for a log style building I would keep them dry for a year with appropriate methods to keep them straight.

If you are finishing them with a varnish or varnish stain, that is appropriate. if using a water based coating (like Street Shoe) A urethane water born finish it could be at the end of this summer. But the internal humidity needs to be normalized to lessen deterioration, and reduce warp when installed. A kiln is good, but might not be available. If you live where the humidity is at 50% all the time, it might take longer, and still not be as dry as intended. Jim
