Its oak wood, although the wife wants me to get some pine as it would
be lighter to move around the house if necessary.

I was looking at some chainsaw-carved bears in Alaska. They had a
vertical chainsaw kerf up the back approx. 70% of the log thickness.
This essentially gives you two half logs and seems to control major
splits. Just a thought.
