The ideal would be 50%RH . Using a solar kiln is one way of drying your green lumber, so if you don't have it yet the plans is downloadable online. The set back if you want to have it built is around $200. The green lumber can be placed immediately inside the solar kiln for it to start drying.

However it will often times depend on your location, the season and etc. As soon as the lumber is all dried up you can now make it ready for your project. First thing you have to do is joint one area of the plank. You can do this manually using a hand plane or perhaps the easy way by using a jointer. Cutting the board to your desired length is advised. And in order for you to have a uniform thickness you may now run through a thickness planer. This process will make the board equal in thickness. After you plane the plank down to the final thickness, you then joint one side either by yourself or by making use of a jointer. Cutting the board to the final width is the next process after you have planed the it to your desired thickness. You can use any kind of saw to do this.
