Are you not suppose to let the wood acclimate to your shop for some time before using it? Or is the lumber ready to use right away?

I was told, what ever the wood working project, the wood should be left to settle for 1 to 2 weeks in your shop. Me I am always months behind in my projects so its never been a problem.
I have a lot of experience on how "not" to do things.

I am going to let the wood sit and acclimate....I should have been more precise in my statement when I said Photos coming next week....I meant photos of the wood with drawing to show shape that Bass Guitar will turn out to be.
