Default Too Much Green Wood

No body of water. Bowls, platters, boxes, etc. No spindles. The logs
have already been cut into roughly 12" to 24" diameter by 12" to 16"
high. They are dripping with water. I am aware of Anchorseal. Does it
do the trick? Can it purchased in bulk? (5 Gal)


Too bad it is cut up. Long logs would have stayed good for much longer,
but I know well the problems of handling and hauling large logs.

Anchorseal will help, but not indefinitely. Keep an eye on them, and if
they start to split before you get to them, cut them lengthways to
remove the pith. Material for platters might be best cut into boards of
the desired thickness asap.

This blog post shows how I cut a slab out of the middle of a piece of
crotch recently:
