Thanks everyone. AS you might have noticed by my other post, I harvested some the other day. Ive got this stuff growing all around me. I can't believe ive been ignoring this wood for so long. Ive been so caught up with Osage, that ive put hackberry on the back burner. I think I might go out and get more in the next few weeks. I do have to say, it was a piece of cake removing the bark.
