When that day arrives I will need plenty of help. As I have mentioned before that is 5 feet and about 600 pounds. The log in the pic. above is from a different sycamore tree than the FAT boy and the Pisco. Now that I have squared off the ends, it is 2 feet tall and still very heavy. Aaron, the product I used to seal with was an aerosol can of Pruning sealer from the local Ace Hardware and cost me less than $6. It is their brand and is not with the paints but next to the axes and saws. It coats as easy and as fast as spray paint. It is a bit thinner than the old traditional pruneseal that used to come in a quart can. That stuff you had to apply with a putty knife so it was a bit messier. I used the whole can on the 3 new fresh cut hog sized logs I brought home. Hopefully that will help slow the drying and prevent a lot of cracking. I do think sycamore is about as hard as Ash but the cracking is'nt too bad.
