My sister-in-law called today to say they were taking down a maple tree, and did I want some of the logs! So, I now have 8 logs....approx 8-12 inches in diameter, and averaging about 4 feet long. I've sealed the ends with Anchoseal. For a number of reasons I won't be able to turn them for at least a month...so the question is whether it's best to leave them as logs with the ends sealed (or even re-sealed every couple of weeks)...or to process them into bowl blanks, which I will then seal the end-grain on, and then these will have to wait a month or two before I can rough turn them.
Thanks for the help-
Izzy
