Have done all sorts of woods. Pear is actually really good but am not cutting a live tree to get it. We have a handful of Bartlett pear trees that are ancient but never seem to grow any bigger. Some limbs needed trimming.
This year the pears were actually edible. Usually they're hard as a rock and never get ripe until they're rotten. Goofy.
Whenever I can I'll drag home some pecan wood from down south. Still have a good sized log. Pecan is excellent for smoking pork. We got some cherry trees but I don't think that sounds very good.
As long as there are apple trees dying of old age I'll be using that.
Hard to believe that trees I planted are dying of old age.
Mesquite is way too strong for us.
I've heard that it's incredibly stupid to fuck around with a crazy man's head.
