Yea! you are better leaving it in big chunks for a while to insure straight staves. I guess you used quite a bit of Elmer's covering the naked backs.  ;D  Pat

I don't think those logs had much choice but to split easily with Justin "Bunyun" Snyder whacking on them! ;D

 Hackberry was placed in either family. Just recently powers that be decided it should be in Cannabaceae family not Ulmacae(elm) Wonder how long this will last ?.............bob

Bob, I think the (experts) are just trying to make us even more confused about if we are dealing with the same trees as others are talking about.  ;D Justin

Yeah, I love all the recent taxonomical changes-splitting genuses, splitting and changing families, and changing species names. It was enough fun learning the Latin names for plants the first time, much less changing them every few years.

We have DNA tests today.
So we will put plants in the taxons based on facts, not opinions like before.
(Am I correct in this one?).

BTW. It is legal to dry the wood regardless of its taxon.  :o

No It is not the experts who are trying to confuse. They are trying to make order.

It is the markiting people who invent misleading (Lemonwood  ), ambigious ( Mountain ash) and plain wrong trade names (Sapele Mahogany and Brazilian wahlnut).

volume 4 issue 3 is the one that has the article on black walnut longbow by T.J. Newman if I have everything down correctly.  The Hackberry article was a Zimmerman one so I am assuming it was medicinal not about bow making....where did you get all that wood anyway?  Only from someone really really WONDERFUL... ;D

I just thought I would give you an update.  I stripped the bark off of some of the wood and left it on others. I sealed the ends on everything. Those with the bark on are fine. Those with the back sealed are fine.  The walnut with the back not sealed is fine, but the hackberry with the back not sealed checked all to pieces.  Of course I have them in my hotbox, (outside).  ;D I think the hickory bows I was working on at the classic should be plenty dry now.  It is 86* and overcast, but the humidity is only 11%.  Ill bet Greg cant even do that in a hotbox.  ;D Justin
