Hickory harvest
Muskyman:
Thanks bj. I was planning on using the steam for the hickory and my draw knife for the Osage. I sealed the ends with polyurethane already to try and keep them from checking. Also covered them up with some drop cloths till I get back to them tomorrow. I’ll take the bark and sapwood off them seal them up good before I tuck them away. I’ll know more about them after I get the bark and sapwood off but they look good to me. Hopefully I won’t find a bunch of knots underneath.

Very nice looking haul on the Osage.
Pat B:
Try peeling the bark off the osage. It may come off easy.
That is some beautiful osage! :OK
Muskyman:
Tried that Pat. It kinda sorta came off but seemed like it left the sapwood. I’ll try again tomorrow and see if at least some of them might cooperate. Much rather do that then use a draw knife.
Pat B:
It will leave the sapwood and you'll have to remove the sapwood with a draw knife.
