I've made several spatulas by cutting blanks from project scraps on my bandsaw and chiseling/spokeshaving. I'm waiting on a large gouge in the mail this week and want to do a couple of spoons. Then a neighbor had a large section of a pecan tree dropped and let me pick through it. I've got a few pieces about 14" in diameter and several smaller 3-4" limbs.
Are there any additional considerations for working with green logs that I should consider? What's the best way to get the wood to a workable state? (Split the logs until I can get it on my 14" bandsaw to cut blanks?) How do I avoid drying issues?
Thanks for the help y'all
