I realize the answer may depend on the type of thing one is building, but in general what size logs are usable for woodworking projects? My neighbor just had a big rotting maple tree cut down and there a bunch of logs that look free of rot. It's dark now and I haven't scoped out all of them yet, but there are several that are at least a foot in diameter. Also, can one cut logs to board size with your basic 14" bandsaw (eg Grizzly G0555) or do you need something big? I've only done a few basic things with my bandsaw, and using 1" thick wood (not resawing). I'll try to take some pics in a day or so.
