Title: Cherry staves?
Post by: Gr8fulride on May 29, 2011, 04:45:59 pm
My friend took a cherry tree down in February, he saved me a 8 in. Diameter limb, 7 ft long & sealed the ends. I've 0 experience splitting staves, but want to learn!! So my first idea is to try and get a few of the staves to have some sapwood, and the sapwood will be the back of stave. Having never tried this I want to quarter the log and if it splits in straight lines, I'll then further reduce to staves. Any ideas will be appreciated
