A friend brought me several large pieces of Pecan and Elm, some look to have 'burls' on them.
What I am wondering is the best way to take advantage of the figure when cutting for blanks. Is there any best way to start cutting into it? Sizes are from 4" diameter and 12" length, to a couple of pieces several feet long and up to 12" diam.
I can handle up to about 8" on the bandsaw. I have a chainsaw. Just wondering which way to start cutting.
