Ahoy guys got called into the woods to help out on a logging job and was granted permission to hack away! I found lots of good species some of which I already have a stock pile. I wanted som Mountain Ash. Yeah I know some like it and some dont, I happen to like it and what I dont use I am going to make at least a few hundred arrow shafts! They are going to look fabuLOso. This is extremely straight and the grain is amazing. It should work well for both. If any u all need some amazing arrow shaft let me know!

Yeah very light I saw a nice ELB and a few indian bows made from ash! I have a lot of various species cut dried and tons still in my lot that are standing. I got carried away with cutting staves I could probably build a house! I will post a few pics of me splitting those logs by hand in the morning... Thanks for the good response guys!
Cheers,
