Shavings
BowEd:
Came across this picture looking for others.First year I made bows I filled this 8' bucket up 3 times during the winter preparing staves.Did'nt have the band saw then in the background.Hatchet,draw knife,and a pocket knife were my tools.I forget how many staves but quite a few.
Muskyman:
At first I was going to throw mine away but thought it might make good fire starting material. And it’s turning out to be great for that. It’s Osage shavings and does a great job.
BowEd:
I've got a huge pile of shavings along the edge of the woods here.Enough for 100 life times of starting fires.I get lucky once in a while and catch a few garder snakes under it.Their after the crickets there.
I do start every first fire in the stove for the winter with a flint and steel though....It's tradition!!
George Tsoukalas:
I don't have a bow grade bandsaw either. Now that am older I wish I did. But...Jawge
Pat B:
I use my shavings for fire starter too. Don't make too many bows anymore so I've had to hit up my wood turning buddy for shavings. He's got plenty. :OK
