What condition does wood need to be in?
For example, most of my mill trimmings have a live edge on one side. Would I need to square those pieces? If so, is sap/white wood acceptable, or just a detail for buyers to consider?
Also, is uncut wood allowed in sales? As I split logs for firewood I often encounter interior grain/character that saves some pieces from fatality by fire (pics attached - waffled pear, semi spalted maple, ambrosia spalted maple, aged black walnut).
Furthermore, sometimes I can ID unique interior character by exterior features. The obvious example being burls, less obvious feature being “loading structures” from overbearing weight as can be seen at base of a tree/trunk and below bifurcations.
I have such a high volume that being able to sell wood uncut (with less work on my part) would be nice in some instances. Also, I do not have the knowledge or experience to make cuts accentuating such features (in time, I will). Thanks!
