Denny @jerbowdens here, want to sell a couple of them? They aren't too many in my neck of the woods. by the way. I have had good luck doing the kerf job on some logs myself and it works well, just have to watch for frets when your tilling..That is along the edges . As long as the stave is wide enough it won't matter.Usually...Thanks again Denny

radius:
thanks Timo...glad i got the good stuff!  I remember somebody saying, "Oh you got the red osage," and i didn't even know there was a difference!

I thought i'd throw in my two bits here.  I've hand split some yew logs lately, and i've found you don't need much yew to make a good bow.  So i've tried to re-split a few of them with varying degrees of success. 

Yesterday i ran about a foot into each end of a stave with my hobby bandsaw, and then split the wood very easily with wooden wedges.






For what it's worth...worked great! 

Tried it again today on some yew which is still green...little pukey bandsaw won't play nice...have to air it out awhile longer...
