...you guys are scarin' me... I dropped this huge pecan a while back, havn't gotten to it yet. Sounds like it's going to be a bear to slice up. It's about 36 inches at the butt end.

Nice log. Pecan is tough to mill with a chainsaw. At least the last one I did was but that was an abnormal log. The cuts were 40 to 44 inches wide and 6' long with a lot of crotch wood.

Your ripsaw should handle your cants just fine with a raker skip tooth blade (NOT hook).

For some reason the last pine log I milled with the CSM seemed difficult. I would burn a tank per cut on those as well but they were 30" wide and 16' long. They had been sitting for 4 months as well.

That pecan is some pretty wood. Got any plans for it?

2 of them will go into a desk for myself, 1 goes to the man that gave me the tree and the other two are for sale.
