I came across this chart with various drying times etc, don`t know how accurate it is though. Agree with what`s been said by everyone about splitting when fresh/green!

Some people disagree with this, but personally I like a combination of outdoor and indoor seasoning.  The weathering (rain, sun and wind) effect is always stronger outside.  Then you bring it inside for the final few months.  By the time is ready, I can barely tell what species it is.

100% I do this.  Outside in the wind and rain to season for a year or so(ideally 2), get the sap etc out then normally OK inside for 6 months to dry out
