I have a chance to get a standing Holly tree that is supposed to be 12" x 30' tall.
I've heard holly is hard to dry without ending up with blue stain. Given its springtime, I assume this is wet wood.
I could find a use for 2" to 3" turning billets. Not sure you could get any flat stock from a tree that small.
Is this something with enough yield that it's worth getting a sawyer or mobile mill to process?
Also, could it dry in my garage or basement without staining or does it need to go to a kiln?
