hard wood

[coxy]

I want to dry a piece of green hard wood doesn't matter what kind  1in thick 10in wide and 7ftlong if I put it on/over my base board heat would it be dry enough to use in a month with out to  much more shrinkage after I use it  base board heat runs 24/7 never shuts down till April so it will have heat all the time not hot and cold  hope every one understands what I'm trying to say

What is the species?

It will probably crack and split if it dries too fast

Need more specifics, what is it gonna be used for, what species, etc.  From what I understand heating and cooling is good to relieve stresses naturally in lumber.  I wouldn't put it too close just nearby and put it on stickers with weight on stickers on top of it and depending on what species put a fan or don't put a fan on it and at the end of the day might just be easier to go buy a kd board from curtis or something

Drying wood is more than just making it hot 24 hours a day. It will likely cup, because the heat will be primarily on one side. It will crack because it will get too hot to soon.
