Hello there!
After a lot of searching, i finnaly found a Black locust tree that i could get without getting in trouble!
Its around 10 cm diameter (4 inches)with the sapwood still on. it will be 3 inches without sapwood and 1st earthwood ring.
Do you think i could try to split it to get 2 staves, or should i saw it? The log is preatty straight, but i am afraid to ruin ir trying to split it, since it took a lot of searching to find this tree...
Also...
This tree was in a forest that got burnt 2 or 3 years ago, the bark is still on but burnt, and it doesnt seems like the fire got deep in the wood
The sap wood is rotten but the earthwood looks good, and it has 1/4" rings, and a good relation early/late wood.
Do you guys think its ok to use wood that got burn? Has anyone tried it?
Thanks a lot
