Folks -
I have to take down a fairly good sized Eastern cottonwood soon. It's about 2 feet diameter at chest height, and straight as an arrow with essentially no branches for 50 feet or so. So physically, a promising saw log. I get stuff milled on a friend's Woodmizer.
But, there's a lot of labor in hauling, stacking, and stickering, so I thought I'd seek opinions. I know it's not on a par with the sort of hardwoods we all covet like oak, cherry, etc, but is it useful? Shop projects, secondary wood, stuff like that? Is it useful at all for actual furniture?
I appreciate all input -
Ken
