Hi Rob It was cut down a few months ago as a dead tree so it was still a bit wet as for how wet I haven't got a clue I have no wan of measuring water content as for it splitting well it is turned quite thin sides and bottom even the foot is hollowed out but it could still split but if it dose then I will just clean it up and then lace it up or make a feature out of the split only time will tell there are no guarantees with wood wet or dry
