yeah scott, on a much smaller scale. i cut down and removed my neighbors dead plum tree for him this spring to "help" him out (maybe some alterior motive)....i broke down the trunk into workable sized pieces and dried it as others recommended. i had some splitting. i weighed it periodically and when it stopped losing weight (dehumidified basement) i figured it was ready.... last night, as a matter of fact, i turned my first plum wood needle! nice wood IMO. i cannot wait to show my neighbor what his tree became!
