Hickory Harvest

<< < (2/2)

Will B:
That’s a nice batch of hickory staves. Should make some nice bows. Good luck with them

Buckskinner:
Got it all split up last Saturday and have a nice pile of with lots of potential.

Also made an arrow stand in the fashion of BowEd's with the bark.  I like it!  Have several more sections still drying on 4" pvc.  I probably took it off a little early as the ends curled a little but has stabilized and holds plenty of arrows.  My wife likes it as well and want some shorter one for going around a vase for flowers.

Nice work....When originally making mine in the past I had intentions of using them as a quiver,but they are too heavy and bulky for that.
So using them as an arrow holder is good too.Rawhide,leather or furred hides make much better quivers.
I think we have one here that holds peacoock feathers.
I like to use the shagbark itself for smoking deer hides.Very convenient.When the hide is set up to smoke,just a short stroll through the woods gets my smoking material.Does'nt hurt the tree one bit.
