Subject: RE: Lyr Req: the old figurehead carver
Around here in logging country, NW Oregon, "harvested" timber is routinely kept in "log ponds" until the mills are ready to use it. You will see a large pond filled with logs (Douglas fir) and a sprinkler in the center of it to keep the top sides of the logs moist. I would imagine it keeps the lumber from splitting.
Blessings,
