How long had the tree been cut before cutting the blank? That is, how green was it. Do you turn it green or store the blanks for some time?

Thanks for the quick response - A friend of mine apparently has an 18 inch diameter pear tree that he has offered me part of. He cut a bark ring a few years ago to kill it. I'm going to look at it tomorrow with a few to felling it soon. So your videos are good information. Ever turned pear? I hear its nice.

I've turned a lot of pear. I like it a lot, especially green. Cuts like butter.

I believe these were a few months old. Normally I leave the wood in logs until I work up the ambition to chainsaw them into blanks, which is anywhere from months to years.
I usually chainsaw a whole bunch at once and seal the ends with whatever I have on hand, like latex paint. A wax-based product like Anchorseal is much better, though.
