I have a partially air-dried Norhtern White Cedar 5x5, 8 ft long, boxed heart, mostly knot free. About 20 growth rings per inch. I'd like to resaw into boards for canoe parts, and for better drying. I have no specific intentions for it at this time but would like to make the "best" use of it. I could get some quarter sawn blanks about 2 1/4" wide (free of heart) and/or some flat sawn about 4 1/2" wide around the heart.
Looking for suggestions on a "cut list" and how to resaw it on a 6" band saw (on the diagonal or on the flat? )
Thanks for any ideas.
