Prevent Your Wood from Cracking and Splitting with Log Cabin Wood Sealer

Cracking and splitting naturally occur to wood when it is constantly exposed to different weather conditions. The phenomenon is also known as u2018checksu2019, and it happens when the wood dries and shrinks in the process. Shrinking can occur around twice as much around the growth rings compared to the amount across the rings, and the unevenness causes cracks and splits to develop. It can be difficult to tell where checks will appear on your log cabin, but you can prevent them when the wood is properly sealed. Just be sure to look for a specially formulated log cabin wood sealer that is EPA-registered and designed to control the growth and presence of decay-controlling organisms such as termites, powder post beetles, and mold.
