I’m getting a very nice hickory log that will provide more material than I can use in the next few months. Should I split it and very roughly shape in oversized blanks? Other suggestions?
If it makes any difference I’m planning to make some birdcage windsors

Gordon,
hickory tends to check if left in large chunks and rot if you try to keep it wet, so yes, work it down as soon as possible.
Love the splitting noise. Excellent news about Joel
Great news about Joel!!!
