I bought a lot of logs a few weeks ago, but a bunch of them have started to split.
The weather has been changing radically over the last week, humidity as well as temperature. I put the logs in the gardenshed, coz' I want to keep them out of the rain. but still they split. One log split so bad you can put your full hand inside the crack.
Is it best to take off the bark to help the drying or does that make it worse?
Different type of wood, different approach?
