Fortunately, the cedar will dry very quickly if if is cut into thin strips.
A few weeks outdoors protected from rain should do it.

I am milling 16' lengths of western red cedar into strips for a jollyboat.
This wood is fresh from the forest and is moist to touch.

Can I have some opinions on what the surface moisture shld be before I
epoxy and FG this stuff?

Cheers, T.
