smiife it all depends on what your making, for furniture it's best when it's fully seasoned,. you could rough turn bowls to help speed up the drying. I personally would be sealing the ends and leave it a few years to dry, but that's just my preference
I am sorting through logs that a procured 15 plus years ago some of it will be firewood and some will be turned!

Hi chuckie
Yeah, I have sealed the ends, but have you never
turned wet timber I think it, s a lot of fun, and turned
thin you can get some amazing shapes and forms
something that is a bit different I guess!
ribbons flying, less dust, it has a lot of plus, s
Thanks for your comments, I appreciate them
Cheers smiife
