Is there a way to keep a 4x4 of untreated SYP from the lumber yard to NOT split?
I went through an entire bunk of 4x4x8s to find one that was straight, true, and had the heart wood pretty much dead center. I brought it home. I set it aside and turned it daily to keep it straight.
Well, it's straight, but every inch of it has a split on one side or the other or two. So, not one inch of it in length can be used without a cracked side.
I'm trying to get about 3 inch cubes out of it. I only NEED 2. But as I said, not one inch out of 8 feet is un-split on all four sides
ARGHH!
