Tim,
Don't eff around w/ that hernia boy. I busted an outie where my innie used to be, right where my incision from last year stops, and to be honest I ain't sure how. I ain't been exactly bashful since then, but not exactly up for a whole lot of power lifting either. Drs spectulating on whether it could have even been while straining w/ the abdomenal cramps from the Chemo. Either way it means I gotta get it fixed once I'm done. Bummer. And I know other fellars that have re-injured.
I envy you the stamina to go wood cutting. It's just about my fave thing to do, and pretty much w/in a week or two of right now is my fave time.
Nice looking haul. I hope to get a look at the back on a couple today, that I've had cut a while. Hope to see some wiggle like yours do. Good character wood may be the one thing that keeps me coming back to osage, and selfbowyering. Heck if I wanted right and regular, I'd fetch me a sawn core and boo backing.
Blackhaw huh? Gonna have to study up on that one. Has bark kinda like a redbud or dogwood, but looks like darker wood.
