Where does the expression, hard as a pine cone. get its origin?
I would like to know what area of the country or world this sentence is, or who invented it?
My grandfather taught me the carpenter to avoid them when sawing, nailing or screwing. A pine cone is a highly difficult in a timber normally mild. I imagine a woodworker began expression while charging his apprentice. Maybe thousands of years.
