How do you minimize cracking as your wood dries? is that just something that happens when you let stuff dry on it's own instead of in a kiln?

any tips would be much appreciated!

Has a lot to do with what kind of wood you're using.

All wood will shrink and crack as the moisture content goes down. The slower the drying the less cracking.
