pieces 0f furniture over the years, one item being a very large round table made from very old recycled wooden hub from a wagon wheel and the top from a very old recycled timbers from an old teak boat. hard as steel but a few months later it started splitting, still easy to fix but thats not the point it still split.
Forget about drying these things out before hand etc, thats a complete waste of time as they will still absorb moisture like a sponge.
