re: Milling Lumber

Just FYI, southern yellow pine is a common name for a few different species that can have some very different attributes, especially when it comes to the lumber. If your friend who clears land didn’t say otherwise then they are likely loblolly, at which point I’d say this experiment may not be worth the hassle. If you find they’re longleaf pines, then I’d be tempted to try it. That’s all I really got, air drying is gonna depend a lot on the size you cut down to and climate.
