    yazoo.
all that yellow wood brings a tear to my eye,not a tear from crying a tear of jealousness.

i got something similar planned for this week end,only its not hedge.
last night i drove to brainerd,thats about  and hour north of my place.i picked up 5 real nice and straight hhb logs.
ironwood a biotch to split,but i hear it makes nice bows.

                                                                          peace,

Good job yazoo, me and my son Jordan split and debarked 30 last week. I'm on the prowl for more. I decided that I was way too short on my stash and that if I did'n t do something about it this year, than next year I would be in the same situation. Seems like if I start out with 20 I end up giving a way a few and selling a few and making or breaking a few bows and before you know it I'm out so I decided I'm gonna overload this year and try and keep it that way. I got a  little system going now so we shall see how it all goes. Its alot of work thats for sure.   Danny

I'm working on a stave right now that I got from your Dad at Hickory last year. I actually got 3 staves from the one I bought. ;D  Very nice wood! ;)

Wish I had OSAGE by my place. Not a piece to be had. What a great hall. I can see many nice bows laying there.
