Worst hit from our wood stash was some Bird's-Eyed Maple. It's slab-sawn which allows for much more deformation.
Fortunately with some quick work with clamping and drying, most of our wood will not only be salvageable but without lasting damage. Now, we know it's a process, but we believe at this point our inventory's water damage is minimal.
Clamping and drying the same board.
Another mercy, is the cool dry weather- rare in East Texas. (Later this week it is supposed to be 75 and humid). So first step in keeping humidity down is opening windows. This never happens in our climate controlled shop. Of course these warnings don't help at all. Who knew windows were so scary?
My job this morning has been sucking water on my hands and knees with a wet/dry 2.5" hose. So far - still working- I've got about 15 gallons of water out of two rooms. We'll see what the total is at the end of the day.
You can see the difference between the sopping dark carpet and the now damp lighter color. Hopefully we won't lose the carpet.
Anyway, back to more clean up. Just needed a little break.
