This isn't directly chainsaw related, but there's a bunch of guys on here who work with cut wood, and I couldn't find a forum on here that would better address this so here goes...
Other than a kiln, what's the best way to dry wood without it splitting or cracking? I cut flat rounds (conventional, cross grain cut) of cedar, about 2"-3" thick, intent on someday making tables, bar stools, foot stools, whatever out of them and don't want them to crack as I dry them. What's the best way to go about this? I've been told to just leave them in the garage in a dry place, and yesterday a guy told me about some kind of aging oil he puts on them to keep them supple while they dry out.
And help here?
Take care all,
Jeff
