Lets talk D bows
Justin Snyder:
We use the junipers around here for fence posts and barn posts. But you would be hard pressed to get a bow out of them because of the branches everywhere. Justin
Ryano:
Thats ok Eddie, its not your fault, sometimes it just wasnt meant to be.
Pat, I did notice the posts.....lol. I even scolded Pappy for it.....Im suprized he didnt use osage...lol.
Pat B:
An osage post that size would weigh at least twice what the cedar does. ;) Pappy's no dummy ::)!
...and it is rot resistant.
You know, I'd bet you could split a stave or 2 off some of them post and not hurt a thing. ;D

D. Tiller:
Oohh! Pappy wont like that! ;D
Justin Snyder:
Pat, I thought about asking him if I could try that Southern California Native trick, where you split a stave from a live tree with horn wedges. There are some trees growing down there that had staves split out 100's of years ago. Anyway, I wanted to try it with the post that was 2nd from the food shack on the back side of the eating area. The 3rd had more knots but would have worked OK, but that second had hardly any knots. Justin
