Bosses that blame others first?  Not that rare....

I made a big mantle for some folks.  It checked/ cracked while drying in the barn so I routed a row of butterflys to stabilize .  I thought they looked good enough to put on top but we  installed with flys down and no other cracking.

Yeah, yeah,.......... most would be embarassed to be found with their flys down! :D :D

I had to put on my sales hat with the boss (my wife) for the same thing.  She wasn't complaining, but she did ask about the checks in the 5" X 5" locust posts (boxed heart) I used in our pool shed.  I gave her all the good reasons not to worry that others have already said.  And it worked........

Dennis if your looking for minimum size to get a 6x6 boxed probably 10"-12" logs. If your going for FOHC  6x6 18"-20" logs kind of depends on how much sap wood you want to leave. I have douglas fir on my mind so bear with my calculations. I
