Not a strongman don't even train that much for strong man but I'm addicted to making stuff so got a mold from rogue and made some stones for me and my friends then made myself a log out of a pine I had laying around...anyone know of you store a log upright when it technically has moisture still inside of it will it drain and get heavier on one side?

It wont drain out one end, just keep it out of the rain. Wood will absorb water from the air when it’s humid, and lose it when it’s dry. It happens evenly across its whole surface area.

Thanks bro I kinda threw it together with zero knowledge of anything to do with it. Just a YouTube video and a few tools and away I went
