I am about to receive a western maple log approximately 40 inches in diameter by about twelve feet long. Indications are that at least some of it has quite curly grain. Anyone have any ideas on how to best handle this? How long should I cut the sections of the log and how large should the billets be? Or probably more to the point, where can I find the information I need to prepare the wood for air drying? Otherwise it is all just firewood.
