WANTED
« on: July 02, 2018, 06:29:54 pm »
Fresh cut, sloppy wet osage stave.  Preferably something fairly straight, no knots, and with bark and sapwood still attached.

I want to track moisture loss/drying time when I push it as fast as I can without checking.  Yeah, gonna test my own theories about how fast one can dry a piece of osage in stave form.

Anyone fixin' to drop a tree in the heat?

I got a craving for chainsaw exhaust today.  It's been a few months for me.  I thought about cutting a downed tree my next day off but then I thought about the heat and all the bug bites I would get.  Sorry.  I can't help you out.  If you haven't found anything by late September let me know. 
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Hoping to get it in the next few weeks.  Thanks, Double-O.

Somebody at MOJAM may have one, but they would probably have to wrap it in Saran Wrap to keep it fresh enough to test!  Getting it to you could be a challenge!  On the other hand, I'm going to be there!
