The pitch can be cleaned up with turpentine. In a worst case, you can rout it a bit larger.
In general, I like to see the pitch solidiified before I consider spruce to be seasoned. It can be done with heat. On most of the red spruce I have cut, the pitch sets in 2 or 3 years just from normal air drying.
