just turn them - don't worry about the sap - when you are done, see how they
dry - fir can be pretty particularly in larger sizes and you can turn it
pretty thin if you want - or leave about 1/2 inch thick so the heft matches
the size -

I came into a couple of tree sections (fir, I believe) which are
somewhat
large, about 24" diameter, and 30" long. However, they're EXTREMELY
sappy.
Any tips on what to do with them to prepare them for turning (or if
they're
even worth it) would be appreciated.
