That is interesting about the warpage that takes place on limbs. I checked out the link for portable saw mills. This will be interesting research. Tomorrow I will paint the end exposed ends of the logs.

Where's the Wood?

I always thought painting the ends with wax was the thing to do (?) - as noted, the idea is to slow water loss through the ends way down so the wood dries very slowly and checking is minimal. A local friend of mine converted a semi trailer into a kiln dryer - he dries huge lots of rosewood for a local marimba company...I'll check with him on what they do.bcone1381 wrote:That is interesting about the warpage that takes place on limbs.
