I recentley cut down a black walnut tree. Can I mill it now or should I wait. Do I have to do anything to the tree itself to prevent cracking and splitting of the lumber?
I've never seen the sapwood get darker on walnut.
I've never seen the sapwood get darker on walnut. And yes, mill it up, sooner the better. The wetter the log, the easier it mills, less chance of bugs moving in too.
Kiln drying can make the sapwood turn dark. Air drying will not unless there is some trick my wood and I do not know.
