Hi Gang. I have around 12 Black Walnut trees on my property i plan to harvest. I've never milled logs before so this is something new to me. They all average 51" around the base of the tree and around 80 feet tall. Should I mill the logs into boards or leave them as slabs? If I leave them as slabs, should I plane them down as well or leave them as rough cut? And one last question...How thick and how long is the most desired board/slab? Sorry for all the questions but I'm treading into unknown waters here.
Thanks!
