You rip his guts out and put him in the sweat box for three+ days!! I figured that that what had happened was the outside of the log dried so quickly that it sealed all of the moisture inside the log. I was right. When I split the log the entire guts of the log were like a sponge, super moist and moldy. So I took a page from Benzart's book and gutted the log - I then placed the log in my shed with the insides facing the hottest part of the shed. After a couple days I went and checked on the log to see if it split - It didn't, and the inside is dry and firm! WooHoo!! This weekend I plan on finishing him and will post more pictures later.
