that pecan looks a lot like our hickories around here. some of the hardest wood i've ever worked. nice milling job.

Thanks. Pecan is a type of Hickory. I agree it's not easy to work with but worth it.

i'd seen a lot of stuff about slabbing with a chain saw mill but hadn't saw anybody around here do it. all the slabs i'd used were sawn off the bandmill [not wide as what you're doin']. bet those make some nice tabletops. great to find this forum, love wood and millin'.
