I lost a fairly large elm tree during the last storm.
I remembered seeing a chain saw attachment in a HF add. I figured...why not?
Didn't like the enclosed instructions, so I built a plywood jig with a 2x4 guide. Incredibly enough, the crazy contraption worked.
I now am in the possession of 8-approx. 48"x12"x1.5" and 4-approx.
96"x12"x1.5" pieces of very very rough-cut lumber.Now my question. Should I just air dry these boards without any further shaping or plaining, i.e. leave the bark on the edges and the surfaces rough, or would it be better to trim it up?
As you may have been able to surmise,I never expected to get to this stage of the program. So please feel free to lend me any expertise y'all may have on the "art" of air drying home-cut lumber.
