CAS: I'm not familiar with the characteristics of Pecan -- we don't see that around here! I'm assuming it's a hardwood?
Pecan is a deciduous tree that is native to Oklahoma, although thin-shelled cultivars are preferred by some growers. On the Janka hardness scale, hickory and pecan are 1820, as compared to white pine at 420 and mesquite at 2345. I thought that it might be finer textured and have fewer knots that walnut, but I am not sure. I will have enough to practice and make mistakes as I learn.CAS: I'm not familiar with the characteristics of Pecan -- we don't see that around here! I'm assuming it's a hardwood?
