Yellow birch crotch, update

[Adkpk]

Here's how my crotch is doing. Looks good, the cracks are managable. This thing has some serious weight to it.

That is one beautiful piece of wood there Adrpk! What are your plans for it/them?

Put legs on it and put it to good use.

1 crotch. The other pieces were thinner cuts and warped. I really only tried to save this center cut.
It's 2 5/8" thick. It's got about a year and few months dryng time. I brought it home two weeks ago to get some real dry heat on it and it is still holding real well.
I really don't have a plan for it. Maybe like I said just some legs out of yew or maple, maybe I should use yellow birch, not sure. I've also thought to slice it again. Whatever I'll be posting.
