Keith, I log all my properties. I sell the hardwood.

I just find it interesting that a major producer of stock material says kiln drying (as whatever their process entails) provides so many blanks to all the major manufacturers. They get satisfactory results on a large scale.

Yet here, it's Satan's handwork.

You wight try a wax product and heavier ricking for your next attempt at air drying fresh cuts.

Out there doing it best I can.
