Hard to say, Storz may say if you took the time to thoroughly wade through his book (it is a time consuming process to find anything in that book, I really need to go through it and index topics in a spreadsheet, but it is a jumbled mess, - tons of great material haphazardly assembled and poorly translated.), but I didn't see a time frame for curing walnut stock specifically. I assume Mike and Bruce might know, or have the time frame in their book, or Jon Speed has a document on this process, but offhand I do not know the cure times involved. Storz only comment on cure time was two years for raw beech, and numerous meanderings about curing problems, some of which suffer from a poor translation.

You might ask in the nazi era section about the cure time for walnut stocks, Mike or Bruce might know offhand, but at the moment I can't dig through their two books hunting for an answer.
 
Finished the stock

The flash makes it look a little harsh but the repair blended nicely considering how poorly it was fixed initially. I had to scrape all the old glue out of the joints then realign and epoxy
