Yaupon Shoot Arrows

<< < (5/5)

txdm:
I did leave the bark on while they stored for about a year before making.

I've got about 60 more shoots still with the bark on... so I should start stripping them, eh?

DC:
They should have dried in a year no matter what, I got nuthin' else

Pat B:
I've heard(but not tried) that you can remove the bark from shoots but leave an inch or 2 at each end with the bark on. Supposedly the shoots won't check and dry faster. It would be worth trying with a few of these shoots.

Hawkdancer:
I have a bunch of red osier that I cut and peeled last spring, left 3"-4"bark on each end.  They seem to have dried well.  Haven't noticed any checking.  But things dry very well out here!
