Cut about 2.5 mos ago and laid out as 1st pic shows. The one I cut is the log on the far left. Roughly 28" D. The close up pic is the result of the 2.5 mos of curing. Not even sure if the coloration is spalting but is definitely not on the sealed, covered pieces.
The split is pretty typical of all the pecan which I only end sealed. Essentially, I have 500 lbs of smoker wood if anyone happens to be anywhere near Vicksburg, MS and wants to come get some for the cooker. Those which I completely sealed on all faces came through somewhat better. Cut pieces stayed under a tarp and were off the ground.
Would very much appreciate opinions as to whether the remaining logs will improve with respect to spalting or what......
Fairly disappointed. On the upside, my sycamore, red maple, and red elm are coming along like champs. Some of them are even showing a bit of spalting despite being covered and off the ground.
