Hey guys I'm drying some sweetgum for flooring and was wondering if it is better to go ahead and cut them close to the 3.5" final width and 2' length or would they be prone to twist more that way?
 
I'd go longer than 2' lengths for flooring...mix it up with 2', 4', and 6' lengths. Will save you time when laying it also...
 
I would think as long as it is 'sticked' and 'strapped' warping should be kept down quite well.
