Very cool. I’m guessing thats Eastern Cypress, much different than the Monterey Cypress I am familiar with. I don’t know if I could dry the end grain without some cracking.

Thank you all for your comments – the encouragement is a tremendous boost!

The cypress is Eastern Cypress from the Florida swamps. It does check/crack (sometimes a LOT) but the finish “fills in” the gaps and it still looks great. I would recommend storing it outdoors until you’re ready to use it to minimize the cracking. Initially I brought some into my shop to work on, got busy on a different project for a week or two then when I came back to the cypress every slab had developed some major cracks. I used it anyway (in the table above) and was still pleased with the result.
