Beautiful!! Congratulations!

I hope you've got at least one proper English warbow planned for some of that - it makes the best heavy bows ever!

That is to bad Rich.
Ash does not make up much of the forest here in Alabama.
So,  If the EAB ever shows up down here it will not affect as large % of the forest.

If these trees make seed this fall save some.  That way in a few years after EAB has passed
over the Ash tree can be replanted in a few places.

Cut the dead ones for firewood.  It is about all that can be done.

PM received Rich, and much appreciated!  Unfortunately, the UK government is already starting to get very strict on the moving on English ash around the country, so I'm not sure how they'd look on the idea of importing it from the States as well ;)

I'll ask a few people, as I've just finished and sold my last ash stave bow, and it's by far my favourite wood for warbows.  If not, I'm sure there are folks your side of the pond who can do a stave justice!  Jake Fenwick is one very good option, up in Canada.

Will, sorry but I thought you couldn't get there....no problem sir.

Oglala Bowyer, I owe ya big time bud....wood is NOT a problem up here.

Fellas thought I'd show what progress I've made. Started with 12 logs and so far have 36 staves (all of which are very wide across the back) and 5 logs remaining which I believe are going to be fully quartersawn, which will give me 20 more staves plus a butt load of "boards".

Here's the pics
