Howdy all,
It took a lot of hard work, but we recently retrieved some good saw logs from a remote area of our property. Although the logs are now much more accessible, they are still resting on the ground, nevertheless. Considering the fact that we started this work to "rescue" these windthrown logs, it only makes sense that we go the extra mile and do what we can to protect them from the bugs and such. By the way, we left them where they lie because we literally ran out of time and energy (it was about 10:00 PM on a Sunday night when we untonged the last log).
We don't -- as yet -- own a mill of any kind, so I'm looking for advice on how to properly store the logs until we can get them milled.
We have some leftover PT beam ends (6 x 12s) that I was thinking about putting under the logs for now. I was also thinking that we could use an end sealer of some sort -- like Anchorseal -- to help protect the logs.
Some of the logs we retrieved are fairly high quality cherry and maple, so we would like to do whatever we can to preserve them for the time being. It has also been suggested to us that peeling the logs might help preserve them, but I wanted to check on that before we put the work required into it.
Thanks very much for your time ...
