There are some huge branches on the white oak I am milling (see other thread). I was hoping to mill them to make some stair treads that will be around 12"X4"X36". However, I have been advised (and now also read) that milling branches is not wise due to the tension that can be in the branch causing the final product to warp.
Does anyone have any experience with this? For what it's worth, these branches are HUGE (but that may just mean more tension).
Thoughts?
