Hi Everyone.
We recently had a large pine tree cut down from our yard. I had the tree crew leave me the wood. There are a few sections of the trunk large enough to make some nice live edge end tables. My question is two parts: 1) Is it worth bothering with pine for this kind of a table, or should pine just be used for construction and firewood? 2) What's the best way to dry the big chunks of wood to get them ready to use? I have never worked with fresh-cut lumber before, so I don't have any experience with drying wood, especially a large piece.
Thanks!
