I got the eucalyptus cut into 1 1/4 in thick slabs today for drying. Was a lot of firewood left over and even a lot of the slabs have a great deal that will not be suitable for handles but it will help to contain the good bits as it all dries. At an 1 1/4 thick there is plenty to take the pair of 3/8 scales from so any surface checking will be removed later.
The chainsaw gets it broken down to where I can run it through the table saw.
