x-no-archive:yes
As I have mentioned, I have some kiln dired wough cut lumber from a
flooring manufacturer. I sotred the boards on concrete blocks in a
little crawl space area nect to my garage, It is under my dryer vent
hose area. (Which leaks a little). I looked under there today and I
noticed the ends of mose boards are splitting. They may have been like
this when I got them I dont know. They are only an inch or two down the
length of the board. Are these boards still good or will they continue
to split even after I build something out of them and stain them?
x-no-archive:yes
Is this a high humid location where else could I store them?

White oak splits along the rays pretty easily. You've got it somewhere
dryer than where it was, apparently, and have either reopened or begun new
checks.
Store wood where you intend on using it. Oak with checks that stay closed
only in the damp is "art," to be looked at, not wood to be used.

Don't get them wet. They may or may not continue to split. I'd store
kiln-dried wood in a dry location, not in a high-humid location.

Would that be a very high humidity location? Possibly dark and
smelly, with a year-round ambient temperature of 98.6F?
