I've got some pieces of camellia trunk I want to play with. I want to mill into 5 cm wide strips for a small box. I'm happy to give it a go with my bandsaw or table saw.
What are the basic steps? I've read the forum and can't find a beginners outline on milling. It would be a great sticky if someone knowledgeable had the time...
My first questions are:
- do I strip the bark?
- do I cut it green or wait for it to dry?
- a post mentioned "sealing" - what does that mean and should I do it?
Thanks for your help.
