I have bought 24 acres of wooded property, and will use my own logs to build my log cabin. I plan to hire a professional to do the cutting. After attending the course, I learned how beetle killed trees or fire killed trees basically cure themselves and the bark comes off very easily. I do not anticipate either a beetle infestation or a fire, but thought I could mimic the process by essentially killing a selected number of trees by cutting a ring of bark around the bottom, and then harvesting the trees about 6 months later. That said, has anyone done this, and what time of year would be the best to do it?
