2Dollabill Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 PLZ HALP! Felled a giant Holly tree about 2 weeks ago, got it on my sawmill last week…. The result was some of the most beautiful spalted slabs I’ve ever seen, however… it has the worst odor I’ve ever experienced from slabbing out a tree! It has been air drying for a week now and the smell is just as pungent as it was on day one! There is termite infestation/rot about 3ft up the trunk, but even the slabs that are separated from the rot have the odor. I’m not even sure that-that is the cause of the odor. Have any of you ever experienced this problem? What can be done to fix it? Thanks in advance for your time and help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 Holly is famously harvested in the dead of winter, when sap structure has changed to have those things in the roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
