Need Advice on Sawing Pecan

[DanG]

Pecan isn't usually a flashy wood.  The grain patterns are subtle, but the color is what set's it apart from other hardwoods.  The tawny brown color is very appealing to me.  However, once in a while, you may cut into one and find something spectacular.



Dat's me and Woodbowl with some pecan boards we(he) made on his Woodmizer. ;D

Yep!


This is member Drew and I sawed these
some years ago.  Not as brilliant as the
ones y'all have, but stil pretty crotch wood.

Nothing good is easy ;).  With that much beauty, the DanG hardness of the wood and the impact on machining can be overcome with the quality of the final outcome.

Dang and Tom,

That is some fine wood y'all have there...............

I've got about 4000bf of spalted pecan at home. Pictures are also at home. I'll try to remeber to post some of them when I get back next month.
The spalted stuff dried real well, nice and flat. The green stuff I,ve sawn tended to want to move a little.
