Oh boy, I've got a pile of cherry...
Now I've done it. We recently had to take down a very big black
cherry tree on our property for fear limbs would fall off and hit the house or a car. Anyway, I asked the guy if there was any chance I could get a little bit milled as I thought it would be nice to make a box or something small from a tree that came from our land, all .14 acres of it. He said "Sure, I have a friend with a mill". Well, today I came home and pulled in the driveway and in the back, at the far end of the driveway there is a pile of cherry in 12' lengths, about 10 foot wide, and about 2' hight. Each one is ~4/4 or 5/4. I stood there thinking what the hell am I going to do with all of this? It is milled to thickness, but the edges need to be cut to width, so there is a reasonable amount of waste. I went and got my next door neighbor who also does some woodworking. He said he has a spot on his land that we can use to stack it. I found a good document on stacking so I think I'm good there. But should I cut the wood to width before I stack it or just leave it in it's "uneven" state and wait for it to dry? It will be outside for the most part. -Jim |
