[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1053967, member: 4362"] That's beautiful Bigfoot. Thanks Alison. I wish I had a picture of the bed and the crib but the baby was coming pretty quick. GP, The log would still check and it would also take it forever to dry. Sawing it now is what I'd suggest then stick some tobacco sticks between the boards and let them dry a year per inch. You will get some checking on the ends but you will have plenty of useful wood and even with the check pieces you can make short cuts with these so they are not wasted. If you decide to dry it whole there is a liquid paraffin you can coat the ends with to reduce the water loss that will help some but I suspect you already have checks in it if you look close.
