Thanks bud! I’ll hit him up now!!
And @Mike1950 can help you out on that alsoYou may already know this, but if your wood is of a quality and size to make guitars, you can get much for it than selling as a just lumber. It would probably be worthwhile to do some research before making cutting decisions. Plenty of guitar makers out there.
Clinton, theres a lot of info in the milling and processing section. A lot of older threads that are good reads and sources of info. Also tips about drying and what sizes are easier to ship.
finding and processing figured woods is a great experience. in a lot of case the best figure is in quartersawn aspect. that is at 90 degrees to to the bark. sycamore, oak, figured eucalyptus are all examples of such. crotch figure is also highly prized in walnut and others. i agree that @Mike1950 will probably be best able to speak to sawing figured maples

howdy! Thanks for info. I’m not very savvy with this computer stuff but if u can text or call me I’d love to chat! NO PERSONAL CONTACT INFO IN OPEN FORUM... phone number removedYes sir I’m well aware of that and that’s my plan. In my small community thier are lot’s of meth addicted thieves running around here cutting blocks and making good money for them to fry more brain cells. I’m a local contractor w my own machinery and I hv found these logs before. I just sold them to a local buyer who then sold them to Gibson. I don’t think I want my logs going to China. I want to learn how to cut the blocks if that’s the way? I own a small bandsaw mill and could just sell slabs as I hv some slabs of cedar cut already and that was easy and a complete blast!!any interest or info is greatly appreciated!
