Yep. I get frustrated and want to chuck it in the bin...then come back later and see how I can work with it. There isn't much you can't salvage if you think about it- might not be what you originally intended, but sometimes its even better.
I think the cracks are stable. I took it to Armidale and back and they didn't change, and it was significantly colder and drier there. I think these are just par for the course for the timber. It'd normally be a fence post or firewood. I'm going to go and talk to my guy next weekend, take this and some others around and show him what I need and see how that goes. He had a heap of other stuff there, I'm sure I can find some nice pieces a bit more suited.
