Hi all,
We have a monstrous white pine - 2.5-3' diameter and ~100' tall (guesstimate) that we will unfortunately be dropping as part of a house build in Michigan.
If we want to mill, kiln dry, and utilize the wood is there an optimal time to do it? Someone said that we should drop it in January as this time of year it will be filled with sap.
Is that old logger folk lore or is there truth to it?
We would have it milled and kiln dried.
Do people ever use white pine for shiplap?
Thank you.
