will the firewood be safe from the pen blank stock? You might want to take a trailer with you
You might have an excellent idea? My dad has just five acres with 3 being field/house, garage, and garden...so that only leaves two acres of ground to search up some winter blowdown logs! Hopefully, old winterblow down with some mushrooms growing on the sides....
But the neighbors are generally a lazy bunch(from what I remember growing up there), and I could always find something on their property? Ah, now I'm going to dream about spalted maple crotch, or beech crotch, or.............
Actually the garage door header needs to be replaced. I think he said water damage has occured over the last few years due to the siding.....or something? Regardless, it'll need to be fixed.
If I was to slab out a 5-1/4" x 11-1/2" x 18' 6" piece of red oak...how much shrinkage would occur during the years from drying? Only going to be there about a week...so kilns, or whatever won't be an option! And he'll need the help putting it into place.
Any thoughts?
