Hickory Haul

(1/4) > >>

Kegan:
Well, my stash of staves was running low- just a coupla elm peices and a red oak stave set aside for a David W. Well, we all know what that means- STAVE RUN! SO I took the hatchet and took to the woods. Not a hundred yards in I found a really nice shagbark and went to chopping. I figured that I could get at least six staves outta it, mostly figuring the knots higher up would give me alot of trouble in spltting. After an hour of splitting and cutting, I had TWELVE nice staves, ten large ones, a narrow "kid bow" stave, and a really thin shorty. Well, I'm good to go. The local trees are gonna be safe for a while now ;D

The only tools I used for the entire job and the finished products.

Looks like a nice haul. Better get them sealed.    Pat

Justin Snyder:
Looks good to me.  I think you are supposed to go before you run out.  That way these would be dry before you run out.  ;D  Justin

Looks like bow wood to me.  I'll take the one on the left.

Hatchet and a wooden wedge?  Better you than me.

I have five like that- figured to trade them here and save some of the gnarly "character" peices for my own bows. Guess you read my mind;D
