Thank you BenZ for proposal, I greatly appreciate! Thank you Seeksurf, I also thought about cutting a piece to reduce the effort of drying, but that is losing some wood without guarantee of success... For now I leave the log near the ground in the freshness of the workshop. Thank you Lake for advice and comps, I put already paraffin wax on my little square of exotic wood for conservation, if you think what that OK for log of basswood, I try today... I already hear chisel and mallet calling to me! A last question, not the least, how much time of drying before cutting and carving? again thank you everyone!! Jérôme.
