I need a piece of 12/4 walnut. Good news is that I have a bunch of it
drying in my basement; bad news is that it has only been there about 6
months. So while my meter says 8%, I presume it is moister inside. Is that
correct?
Could I stick it in an oven for a while? How long? What temperature?
I can glue some up from dry wood, but it would be nice to use this if
possible. Thanks.

Usually it takes 1 year per inch of thickness. As far as putting it in
the oven, that can be done but I couldn't tell you for how long and
what temp.
You will want to wax the ends while it is drying to prevent checks.
