Tom,
I think Gerald is saying that from the time he cuts a blank and it starts
drying/cracking.degrading is pretty short with that particular wood at that
temperature..
Not sure WHY, though, as he's in Georgia and I'd guess that the humidity is high
there?


Applying a couple *thick* coats of latex paint to the end grain, or
better yet, applying some end-grain sealer would go a long ways towards
solving that issue...
