Cut a round from a very large piece of elm last week that had been end
sealed and drying for at least 15 years. Was going to make a 15-16
salad bowl. I left it for a few days as I was busy with work and serious
checks developed. Ill be lucky to get a 10 bowl. Sod it!

In my experience, end sealing is not a permanent preventative, just a
delaying action for a few days til you can rough it out and in a bag
to dry.
