Hi guys any tips on drying this Mullberry, quite chuffed with it

 

 

I’ve found the attached tables useful over the years to work out the size and spacing of stickers for different types of timber and thicknesses. They don’t mention mulberry, but a quick look online brought up a tendency to checking and slow to dry. Not sure what thickness your planks are, but I’d hazard a guess at ½ inch sticks about a foot apart. And plenty of weight on top as already mentioned.

What’s that from please? And as a numpty to the world of cutting wood, is there a “bible” on it? I’ve seen people biggjng up a chainsaw book but is there one for more conventional

milling?
