Have you already got someone hired to cut it and a sawmill to cut it up for you?


Yes, more or less. Anything I should pay attention to?

It's going It's going to have to dry for 6-8 months. Then after its cut it will have to dry some more.

3'-4' diameter would make a nice bar/table top.

Lookup Matt Cremona on youtube, he cuts logs and make stuff out of them. Maybe you can get some ideas from him.

No, I like the idea just seems like it would be expensive to have someone cut one tree.


My parent's house is built completely (minus the roof) from trees cut and milled by my dad, grandpa, and cousin.

Every room is a different kind of tree. He has always taken a lot of pride in it.
