Hey all,
I had a 24" maple go down in a storm on my property last yr. Well I finally got back there and cut a nice 7 ft section and hauled out with the tractor. It seems to be spalted. Well, I lined up a band sawyer that will do it in his down time for me. I would like to have it done it 5/4? Any thoughts.
I am really excited because after its air dried in a couple yrs, it will be the first wood I've worked not kiln dried. I can also add it to the oak and white pine that also came off my own property. That was milled and kilned, but that guy sold his kiln. I find it really convienent to do this sort of thing, because I always have a nice supply of wood at a much better price than retail, and to me, its as much fun as being in the shop!!:)
