This is a sideboard I built for our dinning room. The wood is Pecan, from a tree that fell 25 years ago in Rocky Mount, North Carolina during a hurricane.

very cool. I like the three little drawers, something different.
The fact that you made this from a pecan tree is neat too. Did you cut it up yourself or have it done?
Did you have to let it dry for awhile? never done this but I know of a huge walnut trunk laying on the ground that I’d love to cut up and save for a project like this. Lot of work, I imagine.
good job.

Reedwood: I bought the lumber a few years ago from the guy who had the tree cut up 25 years ago. He had the rough cut lumber sitting in a old barn at his Mom’s house.

25 years ago would have been right around when Hugo blew through. Very nice piece of furniture.

Wow, beautiful piece! That it all came from the same tree makes it even more special. I love pecan… really nice wood.
