    pin oaks are usually less desirable for lumber because of the high number of branches and knots. hence, pruning of branches, as occurred here, is necessary to maintain timber value. but even after pruning, darkened evidence of branches will remain in the wood, as your video has shown. but one person's blemish is another person's "character".
    as a tree, however, pin oaks make beautiful landscape/shade trees and are fairly fast growing for oak trees.

    When you saw heavily figured lumber like the pin oak, do you have any trouble keeping the slabs from warping, while drying. For wood turnings, I soak them in peg to help with that problem. On you scale that's out of the question. Just curious.

    • @IronOakSawmill
      @IronOakSawmill  3 роки тому +4

      Hello Charles. Once the slabs are stacked and stickered, we place several ratchet straps around the stack, directly in line with the stickers. We ratchet them tight, and check them once a month th or so, and tighten as needed. This seams to do the trick
