Flick some water on it and see how long it takes to absorb/dry. If it does so pretty quickly it is ready to finish.

This is the answer. I sold fencing to contractors years ago. The wood will tell you when it's ready. No specific time. Different woods have different moisture contents. Also, depends on where you live....Arizona desert will be different than South Louisiana.
