It’s cold enough to mill and I had two logs to do. The first was the top half of my pecan tree. It’s been in my woods for two summers and I was trying to get it to spalt. It finally has some spalt. I think it could go another summer but I’m tired of messing with it.
The pecan is history. Slabbed and stickered in my barn. Next up is this walnut. This log has rot and it’s a salvage job. I’m hoping there’s no rot in the crotch. That’s where the beautiful wood is hiding. I’ll have to trim this down or use a 36” bar. I need to sharpen chains and I’ll give it a try soon.
