The problem is that the stem moisture has got it from the top and from the bottom ... basically alw

Hi, I have stripped a tree trunk and then sanded smooth to see what I could create from that. So far, so good, but now I have seen the moldy the trunk. :-( The trunk about 25 cm in diameter and about 60 cm long. Birch (of the tribe is) was made in November 2013, and the tribe was then exposed in the garden (= wet). Now, after grinding I have him in an unheated basement., the mold is on both faces light (white fuzz) and bottom (was on an anti-slip rug underlay massive mediservice (dense white fuzz and dark spots). What can you do, the strain is still save How superimposed (dries) to such strains correctly so that only no mold occur? Looking forward to your answers Regards Tobias

The problem is, you will not get the wooden mold, ... The capillary fibers of the wood take this directly. So inside infestation probably ...

Also clear the tears Log in drying, except what does not tear or very little during drying you is: birch, poplar, yew and partly chestnut ...

Freshly cut and split wood must be well ventilated and protected from moisture about 2 years store (outside, covered, without direct contact with the ground) in order for the use to be sufficiently dry as firewood. (See for example mediservice the various (better) Firewood racks). A whole tribe takes rather longer if it is not technically dried. A whole tribe is stored unprotected and poorly ventilated never reach this state before it starts to rot. To save your tribe I think is hopeless, the error has already caused irreparable damage. I would get to put him into the garden in a rather dark corner and try to use for growing mushrooms for edible fungi him yet.
Thanks for your answers! Too bad the base makes her a lot ... very light wood and thanks to some grinding smooth as a baby's bottom. Well, then just not a work of art, but only a few fireplace logs. I find it interesting nor the statement with the mold spread inside. I had already pondered whether the mold will be more like in cheese (outside and cut generously the rest still good) or, as in bread (if outside mold is the rest already infested).
For cheese, sometimes it's a deliberate mold ... except he bums in the fridge I'd written, do not try to handle the strain that best handed over to the fire ... if the spores attract inward, or a blue fungus is inside, you will always have problems with ... the work is not worth ...

@ Wood Art: Can you still tell you something about the general bearings of wood (trunks)? Suppose you have a freshly felled trunk. What do you do with it? Instant rind off, then store it outside? How do you protect the logs from rain? When can I strains then eg in the garage la
