So, a very LARGE limb fell on my folks property this past weekend (the limb is ~20 inches in diameter). I helped clear it out of the way and grabbed a couple of small sections for futue use. I don't know what I'll do with it - other than possibly use as a turning blank (I don't own a lathe - yet!).
Each oak log section is about 8 inches in diameter and about 1.5 foot long (I'm hoping to get the main "trunk" from them in a week or two). It just seemed that I should hold some of this aside rather than them splitting it into firewood.
I've got the 2 logs in my garage - is there anything else I need to do to them other than give them time to dry? :confused: :confused: I'd hate to have these check on me or something else to render them unusable.
Thanks for the advice
