I would like to get my hands on some pecan to make a stash box with. Curious about the smell? I heard French pecan was chocolate.I do live edge work a lot, mostly pine . Here in the south we have a problem with the Japanese Beatle and the It's Beatle, the wood is very beautiful. But no longer structural and there's no market for it, so I get all I want for free. I make paneling, tables, shelves and whatever else I can think of. Also do a lot with aromatic cedar and then there's the hardwoods pecan, hickory, oak ( red & white ), sugar maple, elm, sycamore, popar.......
It doesn't seem to have a distinctive odor or at least not a loud smell like cedar or pine. But it does a really cool oxidation when sawed , changes from mostly white to orange to brown depending on relationship to sap or heartwood.I would like to get my hands on some pecan to make a stash box with.

For the briefest of moments I thought to myself, way to go hop in the skidd-steer....Trying to take a short cut home when I rolled up on this guy.

There are a few million board feet on the ground in SW Georgia. One of the wife's friends had just sold her pecan orchard when it got hit by the hurricane. About 70 of the 300 trees came down.I would like to get my hands on some pecan to make a stash box with. Curious about the smell? I heard French pecan was chocolate.
sure they will....just turn em sidewaysI lived through the trip to town. Got into a $5 bag sale at the Catholic Church Thrift store. More of the Tommy Bahama silk pants. {90/10 and 80/20} A decent Weatherproof sweater. 70 cotton/15 lambs wool/15 nylon. Too much cotton, but for the price. . . . . Also a fishing shirt with the loops, velcro straps and a vent in the back. No name wool socks, T-shirts, jeans, etc, etc.
I've gained some weight of late, so I've had to pick up some bigger pants. I'm buying 36/32's. I got home and unrolled all the clothes, and I had a pair of LL Bean Chino's in 32/36's. I don't think they are going to fit. One of the pitfalls of bag sales. You don't look as close as you should.
You're simply not polluted enough. My mind went to explosives and I can fix this!For the briefest of moments I thought to myself, way to go hop in the skidd-steer....
I should probably start thinking about reading glasses.
I'd eat those, ALL of those butter as a beverageNever did attain a taste for Maine lobster - my all time favorite is the Spiny.

I caught one while fishing at night once, it kept grabbing the rocks and I thought my line kept getting snagged. I was more than a little surprised when I finally got it out of the water.Never did attain a taste for Maine lobster - my all time favorite is the Spiny.

I've got a dozen or so trees scattered over the farm. I bet some of them are down. The ones up by the house are good, and I hadn't really thought of the others before now.
I bought some pants last week, one pair of 32-30 one pair of 30-32 the second pair was a little to tight. I have to stop stoner shopping.
One of my project managers has a farm in Albany , he said he lost 100 acres of pecan trees, I seen some pics and not a tree was left standing or in any condition for bearing fruit.
