I owne a saw mill and have some questions reguarding timbers. Are most people out there framing with seasond or green timbers. I have acesss to a large ammount of younger doug fir were I live so I am wondering about the box heart timber, because these tree are only big enough to box into one beam ie. 8x8 , 10x10 or something like that.

Green boxed heart is probably the most common timber used.

We've done relief cuts on some projects, but it seems everyone has a different opinion on exactly how deep they should go... What's the opinion here? (*POP* goes the can o' worms again....  )
