Hit the ERC mother load

Pat B:
ERC sapwood by itself makes a good bow.
Pearlie, that's about all you would use an ERC stave for isn't it?

Some of these I’ll back, but some I’ll attempt self bows.  The heartwood / sapwood line is remarkably straight on some of these, so I can chase a ring (difficult, but not impossible), and leave about 1/4” of sapwood as the back.  When it works, it’s a great bow.  When it doesn’t, it’s quite an explosion.

Holy crap those are nice!  Ya mother load is right not just in quantity but quality too.  I don’t honk I e ever seen erc so clean. 

Will B:
Nice haul!  Look forward to see what you make from those beautiful staves.

ssrhythm:
Did those split out like that.  They look split and not cut, but after trying to split the only juniper log I ever tried to turn into staves, I’m finding it hard to believe that those split that beautifully.
