Nice stash of logs! No need to dry them - they will dry as you carve into them. Your buddy was correct - sealing the ends of the logs will help preserve them. Moisture escapes and enters the fibers at the ends. Sealing them will help - but - Its still palm and if exposed to moisture they will rot, just slower that au-naturalle! Be sure that the logs you seal are dry, or you will be trapping moisture IN (and that's really bad).
