That's a straight log, cleanly split. I don't think you will get much if any twist, as they dry. I haven't found that to be a problem with hickories.   If a log already has propeller twist in it then yes the twist can get a little worse.

My staves didn't twist, they dog legged off to the side. This probably goes back to tension, compression and reaction wood in the standing tree, I had some reflex, some deflex, some dogleg and some stay arrow straight.
