Having been pretty eagle eyed observing trees cut down locally, I now have a wood pile that is going to take a while to get through, I've got some nice silver birch, oak, ash and some other woods. The question is how should I store them. So far they are sawn into about 3 foot lengths and just put in my shed (unheated). Should I seal the ends with anything to stop them splitting, or should I leave them to dry unhindered. How much should I expect to loose from each log?
