Harrys Real Wood Furniture

I get asked often if I'd like to purchase hardwoods/barter and it depends where wood has been stored at. Most folks assume wood stored out side that has been tarped is dry enough to make furniture. Most of the time I find that stuff to wet plus storing it outside leaves it very prone to fungus/mold which goes right through the wood that is permanent discoloration leaving it unusable. It is always best to store any wood - especially hardwoods inside in a barn or a shed but anywhere it is shielded from the extremes of Michigan winters. Thanks
