Thank you. When ever I’ve sawn wood I just cut it into 2” thick planks I leave the bark on both sides. Then I melt wax and coat the end grain. I then stack it up with 1”-1 1/2” sticks in between the planks. Once stacked I put lots of weight on the pile to stop the wood from cupping or twisting. Then I leave it for about 2 Year’s or more. That’s all I’ve ever done. Seems to work for me
