Darn..... started peeling a small sapling I wanted to try and dry quick. Measured it, 72" good. Got about 2/3 the way down to uncover a big crack under the bark. Probably 10" long and 1/8 wide all the way thru the limb. Wasn't sure about this one anyways. It felt too dry and had alot of wood borers when I got past the bark. Took a bit to get past them. On to the next one.
