When I lived in Oklahoma I heard about a technique to frame houses/barns, etc with local green oak. Seems there is a way to compensate for movement as the wood dries. Was told it needed to be used in its green state as it's way too hard to drive a nail into it after its dried. On the other hand it could be just another "cowboy story".
BTW, I'm envious of your supply of lumber. Been spending way too much money at the local big box stores.
