Hi:

I'd like to preserve a slice from a large tree which was just cut
down, and I wondered what the best way of drying the slice was to
prevent cracking? 

The tree was a Horse Chestnut (conker) tree, if that makes any
difference.

Any dendrochronologists (or anybody) able to give me advice?


Many thanks in advance..


Ken.
