Haven't given it a lot of thought, either. Right now, it holds a 16" square piece of granite tile as a patio end table. Gene, you can use a recip saw to split the log in two lengthwise. Then it will fit on the SS bandsaw. Anytime I get a piece of wood, I ensure the pith is removed. I have a project in which the foot is solid pecan minus where the worms ate. It is beautiful wood and finishes very well. I have one tree in the garage but can't get things together to start working it. That may change by spring.
December 24, 20196 yr I used to live in New Mexico. There is a pecan orchard in southern New Mexico that spans the road. In the summer time you drive thru a "tunnel" and the temp drops drastically. I was told a pecan tree takes 7-8 years to produce an lives over 100 years, still producing.
