I have just cut down a small Bird Cherry tree, (about 8" diameter), and have a reasonably straight section of trunk about 6' long. Before I cut it into manageable sections I need to know if it is a decent wood for turning in a lathe.
I know I will have to leave it to season and dry out but if you can't turn it then I will simply dispose of it.
If it can be turned what is the best way to dry it out at home? I don't have a kiln or anything just a couple of sheds which stay reasonably dry. How many years would I need to leave it for?
Strange questions, I know, but any information would be welcome.
