I'm assuming your cherry is black cherry like we have around here. My recollection is that it is not particularly prone to checking. None of what I have, or recall seeing has checked badly. Even the 3" thick stuff. In any case, it certainly won't hurt to paint it.

If you're doing oak, painting it will help. Most of the oak we cut is 4/4, and in those thicknesses air drying doesn't seem to be horrible. If you're cutting 8/4 or more, and using a kiln you might want to slow the process down as much as possible.

Also, I prefer cutting oak 1/4 sawn. Maybe some rift sawn for cabinet stiles and rails (where you can orient the grain edges so the stiles and rails appear to have fine grain everywhere.) The 1/4 sawn is a lot more stable. And the rays in the wood look amazing too.

I don't know how long you cut your logs. We tend to cut 8'8", leaving 4" per end for trimming for standard 8' lengths. In almost everything the checking will clean up.

It's been a while since I've done a lot of sawing, hope to change that next summer. Have a few projects planned.

Time to wind down here. Goodnight everyone.

This is all new to me.

The boards were already cut to 5’ logs, so they’re not terribly long. My kiln will take 8’ boards.

I am not sure what type of cherry it is, but I believe it is black cherry. It has gorgeous color.

My friend who has a tree service dropped it one day at my place. Seemed like a sin to use it for firewood.

So I got a lot of shit done.

Till I couldn’t. We had no Internet this morning, so I used my phone as a hotspot. Till that didn’t work either. The power went on and off a number of times this morning.

Universe: shoulda taken that extra day
 
Happy Tuesday!!! Up, coffee, fed TDK, and packing some stuff. Here's reckoning that the doctor is going to be okay for a few days while I keep this-here job in place. Or try to. Do. No try there is.


All y'all, be good to you today, best as you can.
 
Good morning denizens of the diner. I avoided the 3 am club so feel pretty good.

Wishing all veterans the best today and in the future. Thank you for your dedication and service to protect and defend us and our freedom. My father and 2 uncles served in WW2, cousins in Vietnam and Golf War, and my son in law in Iraq.
