That makes sense. Any checking on the medullary rays? I am asking because I have very little experience with drying timber and get it ready kilned.

    There are some checks depending on the board and way it was sawn. Using anchore seal does not guarantee no checking, it just helps in prevention. All lumber is cut an extra 6" on each end so that any checking should it occur can be removed.

      Good to know and the 6" extra makes sense.. I would like to kiln my own in the future because I can source the log and get it sawn the way I want. I have clients with windfall tree that want me to make a really personal piece but at the moment that is really difficult. Thanks for you advise
