I have someone who is going to have a truck load of Iron wood and Oak freshly cut soon and he called to see if I wanted to get any of it before he cuts it up into firewood. I live in So Calif and the heat is on us now this time of year and I really do not have a way to store it except outside in the shade and im sure the heat will ruin it.
Has anyone turned Iron wood ? Im told that it has a pink or red tint to it but turns well ...............thoughts ?
I am wondering if I got the logs whole and cut the pith out, rounded them out on my bandsaw, put anchor seal on them and put them in a trash can in my garage how long they would keep without cracking out in the Calif heat................I hate to pass it up but I not sure i can preserve that much without running into problems............on the other hand I have some Mesquite from a yr ago still in rounded sealed condition still good....but I did lose some ....................aahhhhhh darn.........
