What type of finish is recommended?

How do I prevent the wood from splitting when screwing?

Pre-drilling pilot holes before inserting screws is crucial, especially near the edges of the wood.

How should I store the stripwood?

Store the stripwood in a dry, flat place to prevent warping and damage.
