Seeking advice: Green EWP

[YulanJane]

Hi all!  I'm new here and new to lumber knowledge, so please excuse any "green" mistakes!  We just bought a cottage in upstate New York with about 8 massive (+100', we estimate) Eastern White Pines that we love but are going to have to take down -- they are fall risks since storms have made the ground softer over the years and there's some evidence that a couple might have some pest issues.  

We would love to be able to use the lumber from these trees in remodeling the cottage (replacing the linoleum and carpeting with wood floors, adding decorative beams and shiplap, maybe using the lumber to rehab our deck, and the like).  

My main question is about drying:  Is it silly to think that we might be able to use the pine with little to no drying time?  In my research and reading on this site, it appears that EWP doesn't shrink much in drying, and kerfing might assist with any checking that the wood would be susceptible to.  I imagine mold might be an issue though.  

Any thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Find a kiln in your area and don't cut any corners on drying time. You  will regret putting green lumber inside your cottage.

For interior millwork, flooring, etc., you need to dry the wood as soon as you saw it for the best, lightest color.  Even then, some of the pieces from the butt log will be bacterial infected and will not dry well...slow, cracks, etc.  so, find a kiln, or trade your green lumber for 90% - 80% of the footage of KD lumber.

This is great info, thank you both! I'll certainly be looking into that trade option— these trees are going to put out a lot more lumber than our little cottage needs.
