Del the cat:
Regarding sealing ends... it may well not be necessary, but it does no harm, especially on a short stave where a split staring in the end could loos vital length.
I have an old tub of PVA so it's no inconvenience for me to do it.

I've sealed the ends of all my other wood after the hazel I'm working on split for several inches. As you say it does no harm.

I feel i must take Will to task, regarding his statement [sealing the ends rubbish] its about time he read Ron Hardcastle,s article in The Traditional Bowyer,s Bible Vol. 1 Cuttiing and Seasoning Wood This guy has been making bows from the 1970,s So he should know what he is talking about
WillS:
Aww wrist slapped again Brian!?
Look at all these yew staves I sealed with fetching grey paint! I know what I'm doin', honest!
If only sarcasm worked through text eh?
brian:
Will i hope you will forgive me for being a bit picky,but i do think the colour you have chosen is a bit garish ;) ;) ;)
