I generally pin a crack how I find it - still open quite a few hours after playing.

I am actually surprised that pins work as well as they do. After all, the location where a pin crosses the split is actually quite deep in the timber, close to the bore, so its stabilising effect near the OUTSIDE of the timber surely must be precarious.

Therefore I would prefer to have the timber in a state where stresses are relatively relieved before I pin. The down side of this is that there is POSSIBLY a tendency for a slight tear drop cross-section of the bore. It also means that there may be some slight lengthening needed for pivot tubes to fit snug between displaced posts, although I seldom find this necessary.

There are a variety of different approaches to quite a few different aspects of the pinning procedure. If the result is good, long-term, then the method is OK.
