Acclimating wood to shop

Merle
Last Thursday I bought some 2" qswo that was kiln dried and stored in a covered shed. My shop is 62* with a relative humidity of about 37%. I have the air cleaner running to keep the air circulating. How long should I let the wood acclimate before I start machining it for my project? I don't have a moisture meter and would prefer not to buy one if I can avoid it. TIA
