sorry forgot to say that you`ve left it a bit late to cut pegs you should cut them after leaf fall in the dorment season as the sap is now rising, i dont know how this will effect wood cut now but it may make it more brittle?
dont know!, could take longer to season i guess but if worst comes to worst ive got some meranti from work!
might need a diamond blade to cut that stuff though!
cheers

yeah it will only take longer to season and tools will need cleaning more often, but in the long run it should be fine it will be more supple now cos of the sap andeasier
