[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

Just my 2 cents worth.... Use stacking sticks if you are wanting to air dry it, and then use cheap latex mis-tinted paint from your big box store to paint the ends to keep from cracking/splitting. Just store it where convenient, and make sure it is a bug-free area. In the end when you are ready to use it, then it will all need to be planed and squared prior to making each piece so a tiny amount of warpage is going to happen no matter how careful you are with it.

Below is how I store our wood. It is in a non climate controlled area of my warehouse right behind my wood shop just for convenience.
