Pecan Rockers Again?

Overtime, I despaired of using Texas pecan because of the poor color selection, the poor drying performance of the mills, the presence of powderpost beetles in a couple of loads, etc.  One day, Anderson Tulley quit milling pecan in 2” thickness.

People still ask for pecan rockers from time to time. This is a particularly nice Texas pecan slab.  Note the variation in color, the sapwood under the bark, and the backleg pattern placed so the grain follows the curve.
