I find myself in the possesion of a truck bed full of black walnut that a fellow had cut back in august. Not being a turner, he didn't seal it. I picked up some of it today. Any suggestions on processing it into blanks?
Currently this is frozen, had to get some of it out of the snow. It is in my unheated garage for the moment while I figure out what to do next. My thinking was to get it cut and cut off as much of the checked ends as possible and get it sealed asap. Some of these chunks are as big as 15in x 24in dia.
I have been lurking on this side for a while and I know there are a bunch of turners out there who deal with the cold and give a fella some advice...:D
