I recently purchased several board feet of reclaimed long Leaf pine for what I intend to be a toy box for the granddaughter. This was the exterior walls of a "cabin" in Arkansas... 100+ years old.
Today, after days dedicated to the removal of countless tacks. I started running the wood through my planer... and almost immediately smelled and "tasted" a sharp and pretty unpleasant aroma /taste.
I spent about 3 hours getting the wood planed and then did a little Internet research confirming that long leaf pine is very resinous.
I was very surprised that wood milled 100+ years ago and very clearly exposed to the elements still contained so much resin. Live and learn.... Hope this nasty taste in my mouth goes away soon. I'LL WEAR RESPORATION PROTECTION NEXT TIME!
