About 1 1/2 years ago I removed a flowering Japanese tree (don't know anymore about it than it had white petals) from the front landscape. It was simply too large & dangerous to prune. I saved the trunk (2 pieces ~ 6-8" D x 4' L) thinking I might saw it up on the BS. It's been "resting" outdoors waiting to be used in some fashion(???). However, before I start cutting it up, I'm wondering if it has dried enough, if the wood is usable for small projects such as BS boxes, jewelry boxes, etc??? I was thinking of cutting them up into 1" planks & then planing them. I have no idea what the grain structure is, or what it looks like at this time.
So, the bottom line is salvage & what to expect, or dispose of.
