I placed these cut logs of Pecan in my spalting pit back in August of 2015 and so yesterday 11/20/2017 I thought it was time to see what I had created and I am so happy with the results. These are just two logs out of the 6, I spalted. These logs came from a downed tree from my moms side of the family cemetery that I cut with my chainsaw, I'm not sure of it's breed but it produced the large pecans.

My spalting method is by placing the logs up end on end in the far corner of my property and covering them with black plastic, spreading yard leaves along with sawdust from my DC and every so often uncovering to spray them down with water and covering them back up allowing this Texas heat to do it's job.
