Marin:
Little John,
Attachment was too big for either PM or the thread so just PM me some other way to send it to you. I guess you can't compress pdfs without loosing a lot of necessary detail.
To anyone else who was excited aobut seeing the photos, sorry.
Little John:
Will send you my email address, sorry for the trouble but am so anxious for the info.
Little John:
I have made headway on the staves yesterday and today. finally got the photos in a folder so I can find and post them. I split the logs easy, some might be firewood but some is going to be pretty good. I reduced one of the 72 inch logs down to near the center except for handle section then peeled the bark and sealed with shellac. No drying checks so far so I think I am good that way, can tell it has already lost a good bit of moisture and was not really that wet to start with. The stave so far is showing more potential than I expected. now just having trouble posting pics, says the file is too large, I have my camera set to the lowest setting.
Little John:
This post is for practice to see if I actually got the image resized and able to post. it is one of the scrub oak staves de barked and somewhat reduced on the belly,
