I just found out my parents are having about 15 trees taken down anytime this week or next. Most are one to two feet in diameter and range from cherry to hickory in variety. They have a local tree company coming to cut them down but all wood will be left for us in 4 foot sections. I doubt I'll have room to keep it all so I'm planning on sorting through it and trying to find the best cuts of the bunch. What should I look for/stay away from as I go through it all? Also, whats the best way for me to store the wood? Seal the pieces and leave them whole? Cut them and store them to dry? I've never salvaged wood this way before so I'm not quite sure what to do to assure I'll have quality wood to turn later. Thanks!
