I just dragged my chain saw up one side of a 3' diameter rock maple and down the other. First of course I cut it in 10 foot lengths.
Oh my aching back. Nothing a few beers and some asperin won't cure.
Anyway I have seasoned elm indoors before with nothing on the ends. That produced more checking than I liked. So I'm looking for a better way to treat the ends.
This pile of log halves won't go indoors till it's time to cut it up.
I plan to stack the log halves outdoors on concrete blocks with stickers to keep air moving and cover them. That's it.
ERGO: Does anyone have any suggestions what I should use as a treatment for the ends??
Thanks.
