After reading this thread I got really interested in it and took the kids with me to a park on Lake Lanier today to go find some. I found a pine tree that had blown over a while back and started working on it near the root ball. Got some decent pieces out of it. The money piece was a fairly large log that had been rotting for a long time. I started pulling off the rotted pieces and sure enough it was full of "fatwood" (I'm a transplanted yankee). The best pieces were where the branches were. I found the most effective way to get it out was to split the stubs down the middle then break them off the trunk. Most of the stuff I brought home today came from the branch stubs.Any tips for finding it? I know it's a pine tree but what part of tree?
lighter knot is what we call it. Got about 3 wheelbarrows of the stuff under the barn shed. Burns hot and long.
My family always called it lighter wood. And I'm not a Yankee.
