I've been building furniture for 15 years now. I've always bought my lumber already cut and dried at a lumber yard. Well a buddy of mine just took down 2 large red oak trees, and he called to ask if I wanted the trunks for lumber. One is 14 ft long and the other is 10 ft long, both about 22" diameter. Heck yeah! So I got them hauled (that was an adventure in itself....heavy!) to a local guy who can mill them up for me. I'm going tomorrow afternoon to watch the process. Very excited and curious to see how its done. This guy can quarter saw them, so that's probably how I'll have them milled.
