Hi everyone. Brand new to all this and need some help! The builder in our neighborhood up-rooted a few trees, two of which I believe are black cherries. They are both big, 30-40 ft with long strait trunks. I'd say the base of the bigger one (at the rootball) is about 3ft across and the smaller one 1.5-2 ft. When I heard they were cherry I thought, wonderful, I'll make a table out of it. Now I learn there is milling, drying, etc to get it to this stage. And this is all before I try to find some way to get them cut and onto my property. So a few questions:
1. How can I be sure it is a cherry?
2. I have very limited means to cut (Sthil MS 210) and haul away (wagon). Can these be cut into 8-10' lengths and still be meaningful for furniture?
3. What have I stumbled on? Is this a great find and should I go the extra effort to take as much of it as possible??
Thanks
