I just cut down a rather large black walnut. It has been dead for a while. Bone dry. Sawed the crotches n saved every limb. Gonna buy a ripping chain for my chainsaw n mill the trunk n whatever else needs flattened. Got huge oak rounds also. They checked very badly. East Tennessee. I'd sell some to afford the epoxy. Hit me up if interested.

Beautiful work I’m a newbie at this and I’m trying my hand at live edge rounds 1-1/2 thick 12dia. Oak and maple. I’ve let them all dry but they are starting to split. I applied some boiled linseed oil last night hoping it would stop the split. So I thought beauty is in the eye of the beholder so why not try and fill those voids with a colored epoxy. Any suggestions, am I on the right path? I’m open to any suggestions you may have. Your work is amazing!!! Thanks in advance.
