My father-in-law owns and operates a blueberry orchard/farm. I picked up a couple of blueberry stumps that he still had from replacing plants from a hurricane a couple of years ago. They seemed very dry on the outside and dry when I drilled and milled them. However the shavings coming off the wood when turning seem almost wet or damp. Now after initially being concerned with the wood being too punky, I am now wondering if I need to dry it more. Anyone have any advice or history from this or something similar. BTW, the wood appears highly figured and seems at this point like it might make a good pen and certainly a conversation piece for my father-in-law. Thanks,
Joe
