I bought a couple pieces of NIP about 6 years ago. They seemed dry at the time and I didn't really look at them. Never had a chance to turn them mainly due to the size and the amount of time it would take. Last night I decided to get one out of the shed and turn it. I saw a crack had developed on the top but couldn't tell how bad it was going to be. Once I got into it it looked much worse than I expected. Also found some more around the knots. Now, the question. Is it even worth trying to save or should I give it to the neighbor for the fireplace. The other piece I have which is larger has cracks on it too.The big crack in the pic appears to go 3/4's the way to the middle.
