Hey all-
I'm a new member to the creek, although I've checked in from time to time over the years. I'm curious how many of you cut your own blanks from green logs and what your processes are for sealing them, cutting them, as well as your success rates. I've heard mixed reviews from commercial products like AS2. I've read on various site about people creating their own, or just using parrafin. Anyone make their own? Are you sealing the end grain only, or the entire blank?
I cut a bunch last weekend and got some real nice pieces. I used my remaining supply of WC brand "green wood end sealer" that I purchased from local WC store many years ago for a small project and forgot I had it. I don't even see that particular product on their site anymore, but I still have a bunch to seal. It's been a week and the unsealed pieces are not yet cracking but I don't want to wait much longer. I did cut the pith out of the logs when milling.
Thanks
