hello everybody,
i have a log cut down. it is about 8 to 10 inches on the small end and 10 to 12 possibly more depending on how you look at it. i have determined that one side of it will not do for staves. the center split/crack does not run the direction of the good side of the log. my question is this- will it be more difficult to split the log opposite this center split/crack or should i take my chances and split the log the way the split goes and hope for the best? secong question- which end do you split first?

my log does not look near as good as those logs. i started drooling when i saw those good looking logs.

yea me to you could not go wrong with his logs i think i would pass out if i got hold of a log that good pass out from sheer excitement

What is wrong with the "bad" side of the log? ??? Unless it is rotten, it should make a bow.
I'm assuming the crack is a drying check in the end of the log. You can split it across that check. You don't necessarily have to split it in the check.
