It seems something is killing pine trees in our area. Someone told me it was the pine beetle. What kind of damage does this do to the wood? Is it suitable for timbers? I have a stand of old yellow (I think) pines available to cut, some as big as 24" diam., but a lot of them are dead from this beetle or whatever it is. Some are not even touched.
I was also wondering what Malaysian Mahogany is like to work with. I thought it would be a beautiful floor. Thank you.
