Hey Steve, as the cut heals it'll stop. Let it dry out for a while, then put on the lime sulphur. The lime sulphur helps keep the jin from rotting so quickly, sometimes you use a wood hardner/ preservative if it starts to rot out. The resin in pines also helps with the rotting problems. You can do the lime sulphur in the fall, the wound should be healed up, and you can scrape off the pitch, and maybe carve the jin down if it needs it.

Heard the workshop with Nagatoshi went well, the demo after was excellant, wish I could have been there for the workshop too.
