1. Don't be random when cutting your log.
2. Know what you are making before you hit it with the chainsaw.
3. To be balanced in the end, the rough wood center line needs to go from the bark to the pith (face grain turn).
4. Face grain will always be oval. End grain turning will always be fairly round.
5. Big diameter woods will limit drying movement if you are able to stay further away from the pith.
6. Drying wood moves in all directions in different amounts.
7. Green turned wood can't be sanded effectively until free moisture has been released.
