Hickory harvest

<< < (6/9) > >>

Hamish:
 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  Musky, I love the chipping hammer. You really crack me up. Seems to do a good job. Thinking outside the box.

Muskyman:
Yes it does Hamish. Sure beats pulling your guts out. I’m to old I guess. I’m calling what I’ve got good enough
Still like to know if anyone knows what the lines/cracks are

Eric Krewson:
Probably not cracks but mineral stain lines, they don't hurt anything.

Muskyman:
Just a follow up about the steaming to get the bark off the hickory.. definitely works. I did 3 of them today and got a few more Osage done..
Here’s a picture of the stave I was working on. The upper part is what I get it down to with my chipping hammer and the lower part is once I start using the draw knife.

Muskyman:
Got a few more done today. Debarked and sealed. I was thinking today about my last Osage harvest and remembered a picture Eric Krewson posted back then about how hard it really is getting Osage out and prepped for storage. Had to find it so I could post it.
To funny Eric. And so true.
