Anyone ever milled much Sycamore? (I may have already asked this.)

I don't know about keeping those from falling apart, but try looking up a thread, I don't know if it was in here or Firewood, about a "drinking stump." It looks like this could be a candidate for that treatment.

I am searching and not finding it, maybe someone else can help.

It’s spalts fairly easily as in it’s hard to over do it too quick lol....I’m in south Louisiana and I can get good spalting roughly about 4-6” into a log....so I’ll usually keep them about a foot wide and rotate them here and there. The spalting process helps relieve some stresses as well.

Sycamore gives up its water decently easily as well.
