Yea, spray the crap out of them at both ends. I just lost a poplar log to fast drying because I had to go out of town on an emergency and didn't get a chance to seal the ends. Winters are as dry as a bone up here. I may try to utilize the cracks make some sort of witco-ish fountain out of it now. Switching to white pine to try it soon...just got four nice, straight, clear 7-foot logs.
