checking between the growth rings

<< < (2/3) > >>

tom sawyer:
Probably not going to cause you a lot of trouble if they aren't large.  I'd suggest thin superglue and possibly heat the area so the glue is nice and thin as it seeps into the cracks.

Might well have been wind shakes, that only became apparent when the individual rings dried enough to shrink away from each other.

Pat B:
Will you post pics?   Pat

episaacs:
I'll try...

Pat B:
Because of the coloration, I'd say they have been there for a while. They may have opened up a bit as they dried and that's why you didn't see them until then.   Pat

Justin Snyder:
Look for the dark lines when you split it.  I have had good wood check like that from drying.  Often if people send me wood and don't seal it, it will look like that when it shows up.  Justin
