About ready to put a load of 10/4 walnut in my L-53.  Live edge slabs 18" wide and wider.  How do you check MC?  Seems like it would be a problem oven drying samples plus I don't really want to cut a sample board out of the middle of a slab.  It will be hard to use a pinless.  Sticking pins in the live edge seems like the best solution but thought I would ask first.

Stick pins through the bark into the wood so they will not mess up the board.

If you do oven dry, cut it off an end

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.
