First time playing with sycamore wood. How does it dry??

[motolife313-2]

does this stuff like to wrap pretty bad? Not do pretty good when drying? I was under the impression it was a really dense wood and harder than oak. I’m surprised it only has 770 janka. I’ve got a lot I can mill off a couple big trunks. 48” diameter. Took a round home to see what the grain looks like. Nice looking stuff and clean looking. I may cut these in have for 1/4 sawn grain

It is like soft Maple. Drys fast (firewood). Some of the figured stuff and crotches can be gorgeous.
I’ve not milled any boards so no help there.

It’s heavy when wet and pretty light once dry. Fairly lousy firewood to boot. I’d be worried about warping or cracking after milling. Looks nice, Good luck.
