Do you process your wood further after milling? Please post some pics of the milled wood if you get a chance. Cherry is my favorite wood to work with. I love it when I get that first coat of sealer and the different tones are revealed. Then watching it deepen in color over the years if it's clear coated.

:D Hey Gary, I just air dry it, but most of the time, it gets gone before it gets a chance to dry :lol: Thats a good thing. I want to build a solor kiln, have plans, but no time. Also that is another ball of wax by it's self. I have my hands full trying to stay on top of things at the mill and I'm not that busy. :lol: It's just that I am very limited on space here and it gets messy fast. I mill for a week,... and I clean for two, :lol: 8)

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing! Wood does make some mess. It seems like I spend as much time cleaning as I do cutting, also.
