i have a trunk iam going to mill when the tree was standing it had a lean and alot of its weight to one side,would it be best to avoid plancks warping to mill from the sides that were not loaded with the tension and compression?and when it milled and stacked in log form with spacers would putting a couple ratchet straps round ,keep plancks from bending?i ask as to get the widest plancks would have to mill the way it was leaning due to some rot on one side.
