I am refurbing a cidermill that is over 100 years old. The grandson of the fellow who first had it gave it to me (the grandson is in his 70s). The legs are rotten and appear to be made out of White Oak.I am going to replace all of the wood as it is dry rotted everywhere. I took a White Oak down yesterday and will take the logs to a mill to get them cut for legs for this mill. Question the logs are about 20 inch diameter and I am wondering which way they should be sawn to help with warpage.The legs will be 4x4's.. Also I do not have a kiln and want to ask what/how I should store the logs or what should I do to get them ready to use as far as drying them. Thanks in advance for any info.
