I love the look of cedar lap siding and want to use it for my barn. I could use the flat siding but think the angle cut looks better. Any tips for stacking lap siding to dry? I think the layers would be uneven because of the angle. I also don't want to create compression marks from the stickers. Stacking two together will obviously not allow both sides to get air. Should I dry the cant's first or can I cut and stack it green? 
Why is there never time to do it right but always time to do it over?

You can hang it green or sticker the same as lumber. We saw a lot of SYP lap siding and sticker it with no issues.
