Hi all,
A friend of mine has offered me 7-8 large White Oak logs, which were felled a week or two ago. They range from 20-32i across at the base and are 8-12 feet long. Seven are very straight, the eighth is a little crooked. No lumber yard seems to want them, so I am thinking about having them quarter sawn, then stacked and air dried for a year or so before I take them to a kiln for final drying. They are about 15 miles away and are easy to get to. Should I have them taken straight to the lumber yard for cutting or wait for a bit and have someone bring in a Wood Mizer?
Any opinions?
Floyd
