Foraging for the right trees is always a fun challenge. Thanks to a friend of mine who has 50 plus acres in Lincoln, Vermont, I am able to roam the wilderness looking for just the right curve to a tree or maybe a different species of tree that will add character to my furniture.After I cut the desired trees, I stack them in my truck and then sort them in my workshop. I usually sort them by length and diameter. The branches I have cut will have to dry out to prevent cracking. Luckily the tops that I procure, are up to fifty years old so that is not a concern.
