I recently got hooked up with a guy through craigslist, who had an add for "black cherry for firewood". It was a codominant tree, with many pieces +20" diameter, all in 10' sections...
Here's my first cut on a slab about 2' in diameter
Those dark marks are from some aunt rot at the bottom of the leader. It felt extra wet, hence why it stands out so much. Don't remember thinking it was that pronounced in person though.
Some cookies he asked me to cut for him from the trunk in the first pic...
And the first cut on a 20" log. Bottom had a crack in it, but the home owner let me keep the more stabile middle pieces.
The biggest of the two leaders looks amazing with absolutely no cracks. I'm finishing that portion this weekend. It's a perfect 8'6" long log and looked fairly straight.
Oh and any help drying cookies is definitely appreciated. I've read up on it and it sure seems like a lot of luck! Thanks.
