I have aquired a freshly felled section of beech from a friend in forestry. It is about 5 inches in diameter and 4 feet long. The plan is to make several eating utensils from it so I would like to know:
Can it be carved green?
If not, how long should it season?
If seasoning is required, should I cut/split it down now to season or leave it whole?
Any help much appreciated.
