stay away from any pine or fur tree spiecies. strip the bark bleach it using the least scented one you can find rinse and then bake at 100-120c until fully dry. i do mine for about 2 hours to make sure
cheers for that silly question but is there a way to tell if its pine?? found some nice pieces next to the river, no idea which tree they're from as prolly washed down in last years floods
my opion if your not sure dont use it. pines are usally darker and have a lot of sap. if you want to post a piccy of it some one may be able to identify it
