A defect found in logs that have been exposed to sun or wind for a long period of time. Sun dries out the wood, causing deep checks on the ends of the log. Heart check, caused by wind, is a radial split along the rays that pass through the center of the log. Weather check is found in logs cut from dead trees. Like sun and wind checks, weather checks are splits in the log, but they are likely to be deeper than the other two. 5, record 1, English, - check
