Title: Butternut, good, bad, indifferent?
Post by: Chadwicksbog on October 23, 2014, 06:14:51 pm

So, what do you guys think of butternut the sisterwood to walnut?

Usable unusable terrible awesome?

I split a small log this spring and it has been drying in a shed on camp here, forgot about it till I went in the shed today!
