A few weeks ago I obtained some slabs of sweetgum and sycamore. The slabs varied in thickness 4", 6" and 8"; with each being about 14"-16" wide. When I cut the slabs to length, after cutting the slabs to length, I applied Anchorseal 2 to the end grain, and also brushed on approximately 4" around all four sides. After a week the sweetgum started showing signs of mold (as can be seen in the photo below); the sycamore shows no mold. I'm storing the wood in my basement which stays around 55-60 degrees. Is it normal to have this much mold growing on the surface? Could it be due to the fact that all wood/moisture is stored in one corner of the basement?
