Thanks for the advice Swanky, House of Ku, Lake Surfer.
This is the log I mentioned earlier, I de-barked it and coated the ends.

Nice doggie, hoping to get a piece of the action...

This wood is very light, much like pine. Although it's cracked it feels like it has already lost about half the original weight, in water no doubt.

My basement is to warm because of the central heatingsystem installed there. Outside temp has gone up from 45°F to 63°F in a day or two.

I was thinking of putting a liquid rubber coat on the ends, maybe it doesn't push as much into the pores?

The sudden changes in temperature here in Belgium is one of the main causes. And yes, I am fairly close to the water. Recently I had the sickening pleasure of watching this giant go down at work.



No surfing here. Luckily nobody at all got hurt during this incident, it just slipped very quietly onto its side.
