Yup! I love that people have that false notion! I know when I see a CL for pine I have time to get out there haha. Anything else is gone 20 minutes after it's posted.
Good score jrider, like Backwoods Savage said this could be the score of the year. Im glad to hear you were able to profit from this find. Good on you!
OH and for those who followed my oak stained hands thread, I did wear gloves for this as I don't care for pine sap all over my hands and saw.
Its interesting to hear so many people here comment on sap from pine. I deal with lots of lodgepole pine out my way and rarely have to deal with sap. I guess it could be because I dont process green pine much. I do find with Spruce there are sap pockets in wood that can make a bit of a mess, even with dead wood.
But even that sap comes of really easy. We like using Miracle Whip and like Brylcream used to say, A little dab will do ya.
