storing valuable wood

[thedeeredude]

I gotta store some wood, ash,beech, maple, walnut.  It's for big turning blanks so 3-4" thick and 10-20" square with no bark.  They gotta stay outside, no room inside.  Theyre pretty green yet.  I've had them end sealed since they've been cut and I'm going to cut the blanks today and endseal the blanks themselves.  Do I have to worry about bugs at all?  From the looks none of the pieces are currently infested.  They're going to be kept out of the rain and sunshine but with adequate ventialation and air circulation.  They'll probably be stored for a couple weeks at least.  Thanks.

If you're not storing it next to any infested wood, I don't think it would be a problem, especially since you said there's no bark on any of it.  Who's to say about the ash, though...the PPB's really love that stuff  :-\

Yeah I know.  Its my favorite wood too.

I've had them end sealed since they've been cut and I'm going to cut the blanks today and endseal the blanks themselves.

Did I understand that you will be re-cutting these into smaller blanks?

I have them in short log form as of now metalspinner, I'm going to cut the turning blanks out of those.
