36 ft tall girth about 11 inches at its widest.
Yellow and brown all the way up.
Has a peach tree or cherry tree like bark on newer growth.
Serated leaves .
Is it cherry, birch ? Looked it up but ???
Ill attempt to rip some 3/4 boards and various 1/4 sheets, what ever I can get economically with such a small tree.
[how thick should I strip out a log or two to dry if I am to make 1/8 to 1/16 in. sheets] should I go thick ? I realize thickness will prolong the drying stage.
Washed and dragged them to garage as it'll freeze tonight. Painted the ends with art canvas jeso and a finish paint over that. The wood cracks very easily. The loges split very easily while chainsawing. More splits developing day after felling. It feels a little more dense than dry poplar while still wet . I suppose that will change as it dries. Ill be using 3/4 in wide blade with a grizzly 2hp band saw first real attempt.
It feels good to save this from the wood pile if it turns out to be good lumber.
PS.
Any one want a Hickory 50 ft. 31 inch diameter, its also in my neighbors yard.
Gainsville Ga. I hear it'll eat your blades !!
