HHB trade dissapointment!!

<< < (2/2)

LEGIONNAIRE:
dron next time youll have betterluck. those staves looked nice to bad they had bug holes

Marc St Louis:
I had a look at the staves when you posted pics and was going to tell you that I thought they looked like they had a twist to them.  You have to examine HHB very carefully and sometimes even if the bark looks like it is going straight, up the tree, you can find it has some twist after debarking.  A bit of twist won't bother HHB though, even a lot won't but if you get one that is like a corkscrew then you may have to consider not using it.

JW_Halverson:
How many degrees of twist in a 72" stave would you consider "corkscrew", Mark? 

With HHB's reaction to heating, I'd think you could get away with quite a lot of twist!
