Hi,
I have a chance to get some free wood for the spinny thing in my basement. A friend-of-a-friend had two sizable trees cut down last year.
The logs were cut to around 18" long and stacked -- so there will definitely be some splitting & checking.
This is one of my first opportunities to pick up some free wood -- but the person lives an hour away. Is wood just stacked & stored under tarps likely to have checks & splits that go all the way through? Or will I be able to trim 3 or 4 inches off each and and still have a shot at a decent blank?
Thanks,
Matt
