First decide if you got a load of firewood or a load of blanks to prepare.
a little end checking running less than 2” deep can usually be cut off to clean wood.
Cracks in the pith 4-5” long will be marginal for bowls
Cracks running to the bark would go in my firewood pile.
If the wood has been frozen since it was cut you will probably have good wood.
assuming the wood is in condition.
My first step would be to rip the rounds through the pith.
coat the end grain with anchor seal. These are my bowl and hollow form blanks. So I orient the cut to get a balance grain in one side. If I get two good blanks great.
Often one side will be unbalance grain for a bowl so I would cut it up to air dry.
2” thick slabs for platter blanks, 2x2 lengths for finial blanks, 3x3 lengths for spheres and boxes.
These i would sticker and dry for 2-3 years.
I would then begin working through the blank stack.
If the sapwood is still white I would turn some natural edge bowls and hollow forms.
I would also rough bowls for drying.
.
Basically I would turn all the bowls I wanted from this find as soon as I could.
If I couldn’t turn it within 2-3 months I would call some other turners and let them pick some pieces.
Take some to my club.
You might take a few minutes to read through the thread on working with green wood.
I do a 90 Minute demo on working with green wood- show some PowerPoint, turn a green wood bowl for drying(video), and ReTurn a dried bowl ( video)
