Had help again this weekend and brought another cord and a half of peach wood to the house.

On the final "load" we saved just a couple pretty big (for peach) logs intact for last - they've got a nice arc to them. Loaded them whole because we were thinking they would be cool to have cut into a handful of 1" live edge slabs and use in a variety of ways after... trim archways in room transitions, maybe even for a kids bed canopy... not really sure.

Anyways, I wasn't sure if it was feasible to have someone with a portable mill cut a naturally curved log into planks or not, and/or how to know that the miller would know whatever that actually need to in order to accomplish it.
