2.5 years later, here’s the first project from these trees! Milling and drying isn’t a speedy process!
There’s lots of stages of spalting, lots of stuff so rotten it fell apart handling it! But a couple of thousand bd ft of fantastic lumber!
My wife claimed this table… said she was tired of me selling “the good stuff”!
I cut the perimeter of the tabletop on the bot and cut a dado/groove for the apron to fit into… Pecan has so much internal stress I didn’t trust pocket screws to keep the table flat. I cut the 3” wide feet coming off the central pedestal out of 2 - 1.5” thick boards, while I was cutting them, I added a couple alignment dowel holes, ½ round slots for the hanger bolts that hold the feet to the pedestal and half of a ¼” slot that that would become what I drilled and tapped for the 3/8”- 16 shank of the leveling feet.
