I have just had a silver birch pruned and there a few logs of 6" to 7" diameter. Do you think that they are worth saving for the lathe? How best should I cut them before storing?
I have tried to store in the past but was left with very spongy wood. Should I strip off the bark?
After last years messy experience of tuning wet beech I would rather not turn them until at least a little drier.
I do have chestnut end seal for the ends.
