Get some wax on it as soon as humanly possible, melt up a couple of candles and then slap it on both sides.
Clearly it is possible to season these sections without complete destruction but I don’t know how it’s done, the inevitable stresses have nowhere to go. Best to slow the drying down and do some research.
It’ll look great when it’s done, the heartwood looks to be a very interesting shape (is it root end?) and hopefully that’ll jump out when it’s finished.
