Rescue or Burn

[Twister]

I was given quite a few bits of green wood
I made a start on this but it gave me a wash so put indoors for a few days

shall i put it down to a learning curve or try and save it?

Pics would be helpful Steve!
Big? Small? What wood?

 

[Woody]

I think you will have to that one down to experience never bring wet wood indoors by the looks of it it will split a whole lot more yet I would say firewood

 

[GeordieB]

Still turn it & see how it goes. If it's rubbish then burn it.

What a pity, but Geordie's answer seems about right Steve ..

Pics weren't there when I posted before.

Put the wet stuff in a plastic bag, with the top closed, give it a week or so then take it out, turn the bag inside out and put the wood back in.
repeat until there is little water left in the bag. Repeat again but without sealing the bag. This releases the free water in a more controlled environment, preventing splitting.

Never, ever, put green wood in the house unless you need kindling.

Theres a time to turn and a time to burn.
