That's quite a stash you're building up....it's well worth keeping in with the people you're getting these from, and might also be worth having a word with a view to keeping some of it in longer lengths in he future; it's less prone to splitting if it's longer.

They are back next year when they have completed this stage of the work and will let me know.
As I am cutting these into blanks near enough straight away they have cut many of them 1 1/2 times the diameter as it is in many cases.
I am cutting these down in less than a week from being felled
Not only that but due to my health problems with my heart and back problems having to move longer pieces makes them to heavy especially the Oak which is 16" diameter. They even cut some straight down the middle for me and through the branches as I wanted.
If I can get a good percentage out of all of them I will still be very happy.
Thank you Les for the advice, it is always nice when people give it so freely and share their knowledge and I for one appreciate it. One of the reasons I love this hobby so much
