Hey O2, If your saw will handle it you may wish cut it in half at this time. Here is why I do it that way.
1. Bark it now cause once it's dried on it will be absolutely no fun to do later and keep a clean back.
2. When you cut it down the middle one side will either reflex and the other will be straight or perhaps the other way around. If you have the deflex deal you can suspend the piece between 2 saw horses and weight it down to dry.
3. The smaller diameter will dry and cure a lot better when split (sawed in two) and usually will not develop checks in the back.
4. regarding checks, if you dry it in the round it will develop a check but you dont get to decide where that will be. if you wish to dry it in the round, peel it and make a kerf cut down the center and it will most likely check on that cut.
5. Where ever you you put it up to dry / cure make sure it is not in direct sunlight. shaded with air moving will make a fine stave for you.
Thats what I do with mine hope that helps ya some. Also green ironwood will not gum-up your saw blades like Ash will so no need for a water or kerosene drip.
