If it is not too late dig up the root crown this is almost sure to have more grain and figure to it than the trunk. It's a pain and you can go through several chain saw blades hitting rocks but once done it is worth it. Do it by hand and high pressure hose or rent an air chisel.

Carbide chains and a pressure-washer are your friends...

Thanks Tate
I have a large Pecan tree and have wondered about using some for a rifle stock.
Thanks to you guys who have experience w/Pecan. I learned from this thread.

A stock for an old 22lr like a 52 or 511 etc might be cool also.

Pecan and Mesquite mixed together is my favorite bbq wood.
Can a stock be made from mesquite wood?
