Marc St Louis:
I have second thoughts about cutting up a tree for firewood.  I took down a 12" Sugar Maple this morning and started cutting it up into stove lengths.  As I was looking at it I had second thoughts.  The first 6' was pipe straight with no branches.  It was a tough decision but I need firewood more than I need staves right now

Pat B:
Priorities!  I try not to think about bow wood til all the firewood is cut, split, stacked and covered. Once that's done it's time for other stuff.   )W(

Philipp A:
Hi Marc,

I guess it is a question on how much bush you have and how rare it is for you to find such a nice straight piece of maple to make into staves :). But I do understand if you choose warmth over staves  :)

Pat B:
I've actually cut up seasoned bow staves for fire wood when we got low. I do try to pick questionable staves for this though.  :o

vinemaplebows:
Well, if you change your mind there is always splicing..:)
