    How to make a log last?

    Don't take it inside! leave it in garage or shed. Don't cover it with polythene as you will trap the moisture. The carpenter in our medieval group has such a log, we refer to it as his medieval 'workmate' the top has been hammered and that seems to have sealed the end grain, It lives in a...
