I wanted to ask you, if you don't mind, how do you keep the logs, so they won't rot with the snow and all. do you debark them and seal the cuts and have to wait a lot to use them? or you work on them and wait to do the final details when they are more dry? or it depends on the kind of wood? I'm asking because here autumn it's coming and it's very very damp, but i thought if you can save the logs with snow and all maybe i can too, benzart told me to just use them green (it's ficus) but I can't use the 5 of them right now, so... just wondering :)
