I was lucky enough to acquire several hundred board feet of slabs from a small sawmill. But It痴 taking up too much space in my shop. So, I知 planning to sell at least half the wood. Should I sell whole slabs or is it worth milling to various dimensions? What about cutting off the ends that are cracked? I have someone nearby that will resaw at $90/hr and I have shop equipment (and time) to finish the milling.
Ten of the slabs are black walnut ranging from 18 to 24 inches wide, 10 to 12 feet long and 13/4 thick. All are straight and fairly clean. They致e been air dried for at least 3 ス years with a current moisture reading of 6%. The only issue is end checking. Most have one significant crack running several inches. And others with smaller cracks.
Looking forward to your opinions.
