Lots of trees felled

[cueguy]

After the tornado here in Alabama, there are lots of trees down everywhere.
A friend who is just outside of Birmingham, says he has huge amounts of all kinds of trees available. He is wondering what may be good for cue makers. Of course it would need to sit for a while, but he says he can pile up just about anything. He knows there is Pecan, Cedar, Walnut, Wild Cherry, Cottonwood, etc.... He is curious what would be the best AL trees to save some of the wood?
Any ideas?
Thanks...

Personally, I'm on the lookout for 6/4 spalted pecan. I don't mind green wood...it'll dry out eventually.

I would think that the Pecan, Walnut and wild Cherry could be used for cues.

As a former logger and saw mill owner I should warn you that you must be very careful of "windshook" trees as the wood is often similar to a featherboard. The extreme bending of these trees does internal damage which cannot ever be healed.

Good Cuemaking,

That makes very good sense...
Thanks for the information.
