Very approximately, green logs try out at one inch per year.Therefore a 2" thick "log" (more of a very large twig really) would be completely dry (or as dry as it is going to get without putting it in a kiln at any rate) in one year.A 4" log would be dry in two years.And so on.I have a substantial stack of sycamore (a highly calorific timber) which I felled 21 months ago which I am still managing to discipline myself not to touch as I want to savour the very best that the fully dried logs have to offer when the day eventually comes.
