has anyone here ever seasoned laburnham, i recently got some from a tree surgeon that i wanted to use to make knife scales, but it was green. so i left it in a dry part of my garden and it has already started splitting, but instead of splitting at the ends its splitting along the sides, small splits are cropping up all along the sides.
anyone got any advice on how to stop this before it just falls apart, i'm not keeping it in a warm place so apart from sticking it in the fridge i cant put it anywhere cooler.
i need help.
ps. i know that laburnham is toxic and i know all the safety measures to take when using it and how to make it safe once its been fashioned into the desired pieces. just thought i'd get that out of the way, people on here are very well meaning and im sure i'd get lots of warnings about it otherwise.
