I have a bit of a log from a recently felled Beech tree and I thought I would get some nice knife scales from it and possibly do a bit of carving on what's left. My first instinct was to let it season for about a year first but if I want to carve something, I'm probably better to do that when the wood is still green, yes?
Would I be better off cutting out a few blocks for knife scales now and then let them season separately or just leave the log to season fully (less what I want to use for carving)?
Any comments/advice appreciated.
