PEARL DRUMS:
Don't blame you a bit, Id burn it to :). We are covered in sugar maple up here, I don't mess with it as far as bows are concerned. But, if you make the sap into syrup you have my undivided attention.
DC:
Well, green firewood is about as useful as green staves so leave that one piece in a 6' length. Make up your mind when it's dry. If you're burning green wood, well that's a bad decision you made last summer ;D ;D ;D
Pappy:
I hear ya Marc, every time I cut a tree someone will ask, won't that make a bow, I usually say , yes most likely would but a man needs fire also. ;)

PatM:
I only cut dead or ugly wood for burning. The amount of heat I'd get from a six foot section of bow sized Maple doesn't hold a candle to a couple of bows that would last for decades.
I'd rather cut all the branches up and burn them in place.
Maple is too good a wood for bows.
Hamish:
If you can, cull a sick/dying tree, or cut non bow worthy trees. I know timber is a renewable source but it is our responsibility to use our resources wisely. That is the key to forest management.
