Muskyman:
Also the brown looking wood is pretty dry and crunchy. Might have to try another piece. Tried to get it off but might go to deep into the billet to be viable for what I want to do.
Might be on to plan B

Just looking on my phone, but I’m thinking wind checks.
From my understanding they are caused by the wind twisting the tree while it’s growing.
If they are not running off the edge they should be ok. I treat them like drying checks. Fill them with thin CA glue.
If they are delaminating grains I might be more concerned with them.

Does it look like this?

These go all the way through my stave.

They kind do. I’m hoping I can cut them out before I get close to limb thickness.. hope you’re right Bjrogg. The brown wood is worrisome too. If I had more experience with the wood I might not sweat it so much.. It just seems really dry and crunchy. I took a lot of it off and it seems better.. might take another billet down and work it down and see if it’s better..
Thanks for the photo and thoughts on this.
