I'm on the West side of town, I-10 and West Sam Houston Tollroad area.
Pile diving every wood pile I see on lawn waste pick up day and Chopping down every hardwood tree I see... in my mind that is. ;D
Just getting going in building bows.
Building out my tillering tree, string jig and wood gathering.
Have my first bow, Osage self bow, ready to tiller.

Man that looks like loads of fun. Would love to try splitting a tree one day. Dont know of any Osage trees in south east Texas though.

Hello Aelerik,
Sorry, don't know how I missed this reply...
Had my nose to the grind stone lately. :)
I'm in the Gessner - Long Point area, I-10 West and West Sam Houston Parkway.
Most of my wood is already split, and still a bit green but I think I could pass a stave your way that is ready to rough out.
As well as help you get it to the point of floor tiller once it's seasoned. But I can't guarantee a good tiller yet... ;)
Still trying to get the tillering process worked out in my head.
Got one bow mostly tillered, and three others in process.
