Hi, They took a truckload of veneer logs off the back of our place a month or so ago. There is a lot of big wood left in the tops. I would like to actually make something out of some of this. The cherry is beautiful. Should I get it rough sawn first? Cut it to lengths, let it dry indoors whole, get it sawn in a couple of years? Bark on Bark off? This is Michigan and it is pretty humid. Will it realisticaly dry in a pole barn? I read the posts about drying turned pieces in the microwave..., but I was thinking about benches and larger pieces. Any ideas? Kathryn
