The guy next door had a Birch tree cut down so I grabbed some of the biggest Dia. stuff there was. Its from 9" to 7" around and cut to 3 feet long. I am just starting out turning and have done some pens and Bottle Stoppers on my Rickon Mini. I sealed the ends with Anchor Seal right after they where cut. I know they are a little on the small size for bowls and I am not able to rough anything out right now, so is there anything else I need to do the the logs right now?
When I am ready to use it do I need to cut the pith out and just cut the rest up into usable sized for smaller spindle turnings? Heres a pic of the wood.
Thanks Scott
