From how far away can you smell that bad boy?

The pine tar may never dry completely, especially since you applied it so thick.
I have a couple of game-used bats from the '80s that are still sticky, and there's hardly any pine tar on them.
I'd imagine your thickly applied pine tar piece will remain sticky for decades as well.
I have no idea but possibly low dry heat in a kiln. Might dry it out.

I always enjoy seeing your artwork.
Pine tar is actually a viscous liquid, and, as you have found out, will flow over time. The suggestions to heat the pine tar will not dry or set the pine tar, but will actually cause the pine tar to become less viscous and flow more easily until it cools. I am curious to see if encasing it in acrylic will have your desired effect.
To see an even more extreme example of something that appears to be solid, but is actually an extremely viscous liquid, take a look at The Pitch Drop Experiment | School of Mathematics and Physics.
What about vacuum sealing into a glass frame, similar to the way they store bugs, butterflies & newspapers.

Just a guess, but would a dehumidifier help by removing any water?
