I will be looking to cut a few trees down this winter for my own use. Mainly turning and maybe some boards. I normally don't wander threw the woods in the summer because I dislike snakes, ticks, chiggers, and lord knows what else. But I was thinking about all this and I got to wondering if it is better to harvest a tree, lets say oak, in the summer when the sap is up. Or is it better to harvest them in the winter when the sap is down? Also was wondering about the good/bad of harvesting dead trees. I know it can be harder on the saw but is there any other considerations?
