It should be fine.

if you think about it, kiln dried wood that is allowed to sit in the air (and it all is) eventually picks up moisture from the ambient humidity. Meanwhile air dried wood eventually comes down to the same point. After that, the wood's moisture content will change depending on your storage conditions.

When you rip your strips you'll have something so thin that it will practically dry as you watch it. In fact, people who steam their wood, or boil it, so it can bend easily, add a LOT of moisture content to the strips -- but that evaporates so fast that it hardly interferes with building.
