Sounds like a Grateful Dead album.

Thank you all for playing but I think Evan is the winner. Now, for the love of God! Please stop before this thread is deleted.

The place you'd be more likely seeing splits would be in the spruce tops, which are very soft and absorb and give off moisture as fast as a sponge. These do have a tendency to split. This happens most often when the wood is too dry during construction and finishing, and then is subjected to humidity changes--first to high humidity (as in a temperate climate near the ocean), and then very low humidity again. In many cases, it only takes one cycle of this to cause a split.
