How long it will take acclimated before I get to it for furniture making? if the environment humidity is 50%

I don’t know the answer to your question, and I’m not sure anyone else does, either. However, if you get a reliable moisture meter, you can test wood that has been in your shop for a very long time, and is therefore acclimated to your shop. That will tell you the equilibrium moisture level.
Then you can test the new stock, and note the result. After a few days (if it’s relatively thin, S4S stock) or a few months (if the bark is still on, it’s 16/4 stock from highly refractory species, ends are sealed in wax, etc) you can test it again, and after a few data points, you can estimate when your new stock will reach equilibrium.
