Need to seal the ends of green logs from a tree I'm removing. It seems to be a viable alternative to Anchor Seal. Your price was reasonable and I like doing business with you. I've been pleased with all my past transactions with you!

Jeremiah H on May 20, 2017
will this product be a good choice for a tree slab recently cut that will become a table top? How difficult is it to remove in one years time?
B R on Oct 28, 2015
BEST ANSWER: The sealer is easy to remove but it will not stop all checking. It helps but depending on the size and thickness, you will have to remove cracks near the ends of the wood after a year. You can try sealing the ends and then place wood in plastic to slow drying and minimize cracks, but then a year may not be long enough.
What is the shelf life?
John S on Mar 11, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I can confirm that I've had my gallon bottle for about two years. I used some last week and noticed that it is starting to get somewhat thicker in consistency. The bottle has about 1/4 gallon left in it. This is a good product and really helps retard the end grain splitting. Worked great on Walnut, Maple and Cherry, but not as effective on Pin Oak. I am sure moisture content of the wood had something to do with it. Put it on immediately after cutting the wood.
After I use this product can I sand and shape the wood or do I apply after sanding and shaping?
Jason V on Jun 18, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Both. My primary use for it is in treating logsI have harvested from my place so they will dry slowly without cracking. If I turn a green bowl I will seal as well. Whe it is dry then I will finish the turning. No sanding or other working it until dry. Mike Egan
Do you seal only the ends or any cut surface of the log, i.e., if the log is cut vertically in half do you need to seal the exposed cut?
Patty on Aug 6, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I seal the endgrain and then bring the sealer over the ends a couple inches on the fresh cut parts. On some woods that check in the center I brush it down the center. Fruit woods, Holly and Madrone I cover all cut sections especially if I know I won't be getting to it for a while.

Have not had any checking on...
Have not had any checking on apple, cherry, lilac, walnut, maple. some of this wood has been stored for over 2 years! Applied right away in one or two thick coats. as noted by others, cleanup was quick and easy. Coverage was more than I expected, especially with the thick coats. I finally had to order more!

I have always used Rockler Green...
I have always used Rockler Green Wood end sealer or Anchorseal to seal the ends of my wood. It will seal the wood from cracking until you are ready to use it. Another advantage is, I believe it keeps bugs out of the wood. I don't know this as fact, but it just seems so. The wood I bring in is not only crack free but bug free. I don't know if Rockler's product is the same as Anchorseal but it performs exactly the same. Excellent.

Rockler's brand of Green End Wood...
Rockler's brand of Green End Wood Sealer is amazing. It looks just like milk but drys to a clear wax coating. I was using latex paint like some of the wood words recommend. It still cracks! No cracking so far.

Have used Green Wood End Sealer on sections cut from apricot and apple trees. The pieces will be kept under cover for later use. Application was simple, fast, and covered well. Clean up was easy.

Great end seal
I'm new to this and as you can see I bought the smaller bottle and applied using brush on the freshly cut ends on all ten of them while I wait for them to dry and eventually make them into cutting boards and or to turn them into bowls. Each one of these averages in 1' 2" to 1' 5" in diameter and I still have some left over. I notices some sap coming through later in the day and I brushed more on them. Easy clean as instructed used hot water only to clean my brush. So far so good. Thanks to one of the Rockler sales rep. who introduced me to this stuff. I am definitely going to buy more of this stuff. See the photo I attached.

Had 3 trees taken down and milled into lumber. This product is great, easy to apply and clean up. I fully expect my boards to have no end-checking after they dry out.
