I'm a fan of timber framing.Explain what you mean by "butt and pass"?Best time to cut is when dormant and low moisture content. Debark them green then stack and cover them. Bark will invite bugs. Might want to spray /treat them for bugs. Borates work and relatively non toxic. You can make your own. I think powder post beetles will go into maple.The logs shrink more in width than length when drying, so that is consideration, and also effects the shrinkage effect upon the building method.A good place for reference and to ask questions is The Forestry Forum, Timber Framing and Log Construction .
