Title: What's Waddell?
Post by: Parnell on December 16, 2009, 09:07:22 pm

I've got a quick question - what's waddell?  I've used these dowels for some arrows and it seems to be a pretty good material.  It's from Indonesia.  Is this the same as ramin?

Thanks.

                 I always thought that "Waddel"  was that loose hanging Skin on an Older Womans Neck............... >:D

No just Joking PArnell....Waddell Dowels are made from any number of Market Grade hardwoods....unless they are stated...Birch ...Oak....or Eucalyptus...they could be any number of woods

MikeC - I do what I can. 

Swaddle.  Ughh.  Stupid me.  I knew I had it wrong.  Swaddling, or course.

You know, my wife asked me tonight, "Hey, what is a manger exactly?".  I said, "I think it's a barn without walls."

Parnell, a manger is a trough or open box in wood or stone in which feed for livestock is placed.

do you mean wattle! as in wattle and daub, thats how they would have made a barn.
its a wicker wall and daub is the cow poop and clay that you mash in between the wattle to form the wall.
