This is a topic I know nothing about.

A friend of mine had a cherry tree chopped down and offered me some pieces
of it.

The largest is roughly 400mm diameter x 200mm long (far too big for my
lathe), there are a couple of pieces 150mm d x 160mm l and some 70mm d x
200mm l.

Advice on how to season these properly for turning please.

if 400mm diameter , 16-17 inches then bole into 400mm lengths, wax and store for the future.
