What is the best way to cure your wood? i have access to a lot of fresh wood, but as i found out from my first try, working with green wood is a mess, and a LOT harder than dry wood.
so for those of you that have done this kind of thing, how do you cure your wood?
right now i have a small log sitting in a garage that was added onto my house that gets to 100*+ during the day, i figured the heat would dry it out fast, but idk, is a cool, dry place better to season wood? (i figure it would take longer)
i also have an electric welders "hot box" made to dry arc welding electrodes i was thinking of tossing a smaller piece in there and see how that does, it drys out damp rods in ~3 days, or would that be so fast it would just crack the wood no matter what?
