So after reading a book on carving I decided to strip the bark on two large pine logs that have been drying for over a year. There was buildup of black looking mold along the top and bottom where the log had been cut while the center was fresh as the day I cut it. Two weeks have passed since then and light green mold has started to grow all over the logs. I admit that I stacked them together in a pile so the moisture could escape. I know have them standing up separated from each other. Any suggestions on how to stop the growth? They have been in a dry cold garage all winter.
