Tops of each slice will be sanded smooth and topcoated with polyurathane. Bottom of top 2 tiers will be planned down to reduce saw marks. Shipped dissassembled and put easily together.

NOTE:
I obtain log slices from naturally new down trees that have intact bark and no rot. I sell the slices as is with no treatment in them. When I say treatment I do not mean topcoat but PENTACRYL which is a compound that keeps green logs from cracking and is a commonly used method with woodworkers. You can see more information about the product at http://www.preservation-solutions.com/faq-pentacryl.php.
The solution is quite expensive and the process is very time consuming as the slices must be submerged in the solution and dried out. However, if you are intending on keeping the slice for a long time this may be a good idea.
A no expensive method is freeze drying which is one method I recommend. It helps slow the drying process of the slice if you do not intend to use it for awile and keeps it from cracking dramatically, but may incur checks which are small cracks. Also I can kiln dry the slice as this too helps with the cracking. f you are interested in the PENTACRYL or kiln dry method please convo me to discuss.
