i had a real nice hardwood log that i got a bit enthusiastic about carving, i managed to leave it about a week then carved and it was splitting in a bad way. After finishing it and staining/oiling the biggest crack (conveniently through his eye (scar style) seems to have slowed, ive been closing it up a little by injecting linseed oil in the deepest part!
Im very jealous of you lot all being able to 'find' palm and nice logs. West wales provided me a few lucky finds but its gone a bit sparse now! Still trying to persuade my gf that we should move to the states.....
