Actually, 2 trees. Both walnut about 24" diam.

Had a dozer knock them both down and I have already limbed them.

I want to cut it so that stock blanks can be made. A friend of mine just bought a saw mill and we are going to hack it up ourselves but we havent a clue as to how.

I would assume(that word usually cost me) that the "burl" wood would be found in the root ball area?

I have heared the term "quartersawn". Is that the way to start and what the heck is it?

How thick, long and wide should I start with?

How do I dry it?

I would greatly appreciate any help, suggestions or info you could give.
