I live in an area of FL where we have numerous trees that would be considered exotics. One is the Indian Rosewood or Sissoo. I was able to get the trunk milled to 11/4, 8'6" length with widths up to 48", 85 bd ft slab, and still have another 10'6" x 40". I saved 90% of the tree, so I have a glutton of smaller logs that I still have to mill Any thoughts on if it would be better to cut in 4/4 lumber, or cut for turning blanks. I would estimate about 6000 bd ft still to be milled. I have thought about leaving some of the crotch pieces in log form for woodturners. But, i need to move some of the wood, so my wife can understand why I bought the mill in the first place. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
