I've found a large dead cherry in the woods which I have started to cut up for firewood. The limbs and top had rotted away before the tree fell over. I was surprised when I cut into the trunk log and found it's about 90% solid. It is not a straight log - lots of slight crooks in it.
I have that wood disease which makes it hard for me to put good, beautiful wood in a fire. I've already set aside 3 pieces of split wood because they looked like there was a spoon hiding in them knowing I might never get around to doing any carving. Looks like there is some potential for burls or at least nice chunks for bowls. Before I finish cutting it up for firewood I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to come see if they can use some chunks (you can't have the whole tree!) I have a chain saw and can cut what you want. It's free. I'm about 35 miles east of Raleigh.
