Hi folks,
I'm a flabby 57 year old who wants to take red oak logs into furniture for grand children.
Thusfar I felled a tree that has 3 sections 3.5' dia x 11 feet red oak. I figure I can make a load of furniture from this -- but I'm at home plate. Need to know how to prevent checking/warping as these puppies are not yet sawed.
I'm looking for recommendations on 1/4 sawing this wood, and procedures to keep it in dryable condition so it does not warp/check.
Any suggestions would help.
Regards
Michael Furman
