TurtleCreek:
Makes me want to try some ocean spray, looks like some super tough stuff
Elktracker:
Ya it is tough stuff! I just went out today and found a great spot to get it and ended up getting about twenty awsome saplings! Im pretty excited about them. Got them all sealed up and in the basement.
TurtleCreek:
How big around are they?
Elktracker:
Most of them are around 1 1/4" but some are as big as 3 1/2 at the base ;D and they are were mostly all cut around 70" long! This spot I found them in is sallal thats up to your chest in spots or even over your head so the OS grows very clear and straight to long lengths. I have also notices that most of the best stuff I find grows very close to the beach in sandy soil on the edges of steep, brushy coastal forest land.
Another thing I have found is OS likes to be narrow limbed bows vs wide limbed kinda like Ipe if you dont narrow the limbs up you wont have much wood left by the time your at your desired draw weight unless your building a warbow. :D
