I have several hundred board feet of Pecan and Hickory lumber.
The majority of the Hickory is 6/4 quartersawn though I do have come 3"squares.
I have a couple of Pecan slabs roughly 30" wide and 8' long.
Also have a couple of 6x6 white oak posts.
If anyone is interested I've been milling some 6 and 8/4 Pecan slabs between 12" and 30" wide.
Also have a bunch of 12/4 Quartersawn from 5"-10" wide and by the end of the weekend should have a dozen or so 13" wide 4/4 Quartersawn boards.
Some of you may have heard the story about the wood used in my daughters' Barbie House Dresser. My in-laws had an old pecan tree in their backyard that was uprooted in one of the hurricanes. My wife and her brother played under this tree as kids. I was very excited to use that wood in something...
I had some spalted pecan (thanks to Scott Smith) in the shop, a few more blanks still there, that I wanted to try. So I got a Tycoon Rhodium kit and this is what I came up with. The pecan has 8 coats of BLO/CA polished to 12000mm and Novus 2.
Thank you in advance for any feedback (positive and...
Two mature pecan trees located near Augusta. They are cut in 6-8' lengths. There is a crew and equipment available to load them for you. They will only be available for the next 2-3 days. If you are interested call Pete at 336-456-1275.
Just saw this. Not Mine. I'm guessing it is $40/beam.

Let me know what they look like. The Pecan might be of interest to me.

Roughed turned this bowl a few weeks ago, the wood was very soft and punky. So I soaked it in a white glue solution I read about on Sawmill Creek. I changed it up a little. 1 gallon of white glue from Lowes, 2 gallons of water, mix well and stir every few days. Soaked the roughed out bowl...
Was out in the shop resawing some free Holly I picked up while walking the dog. Wanted to get the bark off it before it discolored the blanks. Anywho, made a 7" diameter NE bowl out of some Pecan I got from RobS. Didn't quite get the front and back symmetric, but the sides are. I hand sanded...
About 1.5" x 2.25" Turned end grain, AO and buffed. Yes the lid does have that "Pop" This was a small cut off from the bowl I turned for the Museum for Scott S.
This is the first time I tried pecan, Hard as a rock but I love the way it turns, get nice strings.
Any way I guess this turning is a cookie jar at least thats what my wife said it was.

This is a jewerly box that i made for my wife from some pecan and I think the other wood is dark poplar that I reclaimed from an old table that she bought at a yard sale. everything is from the table except the handle it a piece of scrap of maple that I had laying around...
OK, so we had a couple of large branches from our pecan tree that had to be taken down for the new garage (sorry, "storage building") we are having built. Don't know if anyone would want or could use these, but I can secure them if anyone is interested.
There are a few lengths of about 4 to 6...
Does anyone have experience air drying pecan? I have about 350 bf of 1 x from 6-18" by 8 feet. We sawed it last week and it is now stacked (with stickers) in a shed. Should we have it kiln dried? Does it check and warp a lot. Any advice would be helpful.
My daughter's recent ex-manfriend (she's 43) managed to damage a pecan tree on her property, in a vindictive mood, I'm sure, this past Friday. He had a truck body parked on her property, which she asked him to remove, and somehow, during the move, he managed to hit and break off the tree's main...
