Hickory harvest

<< < (9/9)

Muskyman:
Here’s the Osage, I’ve got a few that weren’t great as you can see on the top of the pile. 
And you can see that the hickory has some twist to it. I’ll choose wiser next time I cut one. 

superdav95:
Looks good mike!  Lots of work there

Muskyman:
Thanks Dave. Lots of work involved in getting these staves done for sure. Going to be a while before I take the leap to get more. Funny thing though, I checked the moisture in the Osage and all I checked were 20 % or under and I checked one of the hickory and it was 30%. I’ve still got the nice piece of hickory I got from you. I have a bow laid out on it so it might be my next project.

superdav95:
Nice.  Post your progress here when you get going on it.  That stick should get you a nice bow.  No pressure haha!  Based on what I’ve been seeing you post here last little bit you shouldn’t have any issues.  Hickory is pretty forgiving.  Hit me up when you get going on it if you need help or another set of eyes. 

Dave

Muskyman:
Will do, thanks
