I agree with Ken's estimate, but another way is to weigh them every few months. When they quit loosing weight, they are done (or your scale is not very precise).

Anyway, I like what I see of your wood and I would consider sealing the sides of crotch wood as it tends to develop stress cracks sometimes.
