Hi:
Got a couple of questions about turning green lumber.
1. We had a few trees cut down recently and I was able to save some of the logs for turning They were : Ash, Silver Maple and a Slippery Elm.
2. I have them cut in 3 foot peices and they are 6 to 10 inches in diameter. Should I just strip the bark off with a drawknife or should I run the logs through my tablesaw to get the bark off?
3. If I run them through the tablesaw, how difficult will it be to trim the bark off with the tablesaw?
Thanks,
Bob
