I've seen 2x4's do a full 180 twist like a pretzel during the housing boom when they were using some of the wettest wood I've ever seen. They were slamming them together so quickly it was the only wood they could get, and would have to put sheetrock on as soon as possible to prevent the twisting. The water would literally drip/squirt out when nailed.

If you do this expect to stack and space the wood for even drying like stated above by others.
