I'm real new to this whole process, I have had a Huge amount of sucess with my first attempts at milling thanks to the EXCELLENT resources on this site, thanks guys!!
I am planning on building a pole barn using poplar siding, tonnes of question that can be answered later (ie, tongue and groove milling vs. ship lap joints, pine vs. popular siding, vertical vs horizontal siding on a pole building....). But for now I just want to start milling the blank material. I won't be building till next year and want to spend sometime this year cutting the rough material.
Soooo.... If I want to end up with 4/4 siding am I better to dry it in thick cants and resaw when dry or saw to 5/4 now?
