Does anyone use strapping to bundle lumber or slabs? If so what kind would work the best and also be economical.Also would this help prevent warping when air drying lumber.

I started with steel, but the clips were not adjustable, and the metal caused rust up against the wood.  I now use plastic with buckles that can be retentioned.  I have both.  I have some stainless steel that is highly tension able, but expensive for utility grade.  three kinds of tensioners, but a variety of stock banding.  best to have a cart to organize.  I can get details later.  I patterned the plastic stuff after what Jake @customsawyer used in 2018 at the sawing project.
