crab apple
« on: March 07, 2010, 10:57:37 AM »
Trimmed down one of my apple trees yesterday.  Saved a whole bunch of limbs 2" in diameter 72" long.  Per usual, lots of stickers growing out.  Think its a waste of time to keep for future high crown bows?   Also saved a few 5" limbs.  Knots galore of course.

Not really, the crab apple I've worked looked like it had potential. If it weren't for my bad decision making that led to frets, would have made some nice bows.

Caution: likes to check though... alot!

Thats a work of art done by a master.  Maybe keep a few branches/staves around.  Worst could happen is I never get the time to work on em.
