I have a section of maple tree trunk thats about 4" thick. The diameter is roughly 3 feet.
Tree was cut down about 2 months ago. It's been sitting in a storage room (70f, 40-50% humidity).
How should it be stored or cured or dried (or what-ever) prior to being prepared for some sort of use - maybe as a decoration or a table-top ?
Should it be stored? Or should it be sanded, planed, stained or sealed ASAP?
Are there any web sites that might have some good info on this?
