A few weeks ago I purchased a 3x3x6 block of Paduak. The block had a wax coating. I stripped the wax and cut the wood into bottle stopper blanks. Yesterday I went to turn some and noticed all of the blanks have began cracking/splitting on the ends. Is there anyway to prevent this cracking after the block has been cut? What is the proper way to dry wood without the cracks developing? Thanks again for the help
