 Hi Steve hows things all good I hope ,so mullberry is a bugger to dry then ,stunning colour got 8 boards out of the small bit I got a much bigger bit for tomorrow or Friday should get 12/14 inch wide boards from it.

Should seal all your end grain as soon as you get your logs mark. I use SBR personally but pva 50/50 is just as good and stops the end grain from spilling and reduces shrinking

2/3 coats each end mark but its a lot easier to paint the end of the logs before they are milled. First thing you should be doing when they get delivered to be honest

Does not bode well. Less (slabs) is more sometimes.
