The plamwood was a little damp when I started carving. It was easer carving that the kiln dry doug fur beam cut off that I used to start with. Stumpy, dryed with a star pattern on top. I'm trying a trick that my Dad showed me, slowly filling the crack with fiberglass resin than will seal it with polycrylic. Than I'll put on a padded seat for a patio stool. My sons use it that way now. I have two new pieces of plamwood (maybe date plam) that I will seal the ends this weekend, and let dry for 6 months or more. Thanks.
