Had a cherry tree taken down and I've cut to rough lengths of several logs that'll give me 5-10ft straight lengths...range 8-14"dia logs. I painted the ends w/ latex paint (all I had) and I'll be getting some Tim-BOR to treat them once sawn. I'll be having to air dry these at least for a while soNeighbor says he has a friend with a sawmill that owes him a favor so not really sure what that means for cost to have these sawn but I'd like you take on a couple of things:
Thanks !
- Should I get these rift & quarter sawn only or being cherry w/ nice looking cathedral grain get some flat sawn as well ?
- Should I aim to get these 4/4, 5/4, 6/4 or 8/4 thickness or a blend thereof ? I have no specific build plans for this material yet and my old cheap restored bandsaw would not be too conducive for resawing
Thanks !
