I had some scales cut for knife handles, which were cut from a cherry bole that was dried for 5 years before cutting (talk about some smoking when I finally starting cutting the scales), and have since been laying around the shop for about another 3-4 years. They are all now split as well. Unusual to say the least.

I see the cherry up there, I've never had any luck with it in calls as it is pretty soft, let me know how it works!
