Today I ran across a big downed cherry tree with a solid symetrical crotch. Does cherry have a "feather crotch" pattern much in the same way that walnut does?
I suppose that the cutting procedure would be the same as cutting a walnut crotch (?) Unless somebody says otherwise, I'll probably cut out a 1" center board in an atempt to exclude all of the pith. From that point, I suppose that the remainder will be cut 5/4 (?).
Not sure exactly what I'll do with it. Obviously it would either be used for veneer or some sort of face board.
Thanks for your suggestions,
Rob
