You are a stave-making machine man!  It is definitely time to take some time off.  Hope you catch a bunch of fish!  See ya at the Classic!   :)

Mike, it looks like you are getting prepared for a bow making bonanza. Don't know if I can make the Classic in Tennessee, but plan to be at the Howard Hill Shoot in June.

Yazoo  nice Hickory blanks. I agree with you about Hickory being a tough wood. I am working more with Hickory than I used to. A nice straight grained Hickory stave is a pleasure to work with. I like the smell of Hickory when you heat it up. Dean

Is that 5 years seasoned/cured?

And that was great luck having some work turn up only 15 min's from you :)

We'll expect another pic of 30 or 40 Osage staves in a while... ;)

I admire your industry. Seems like more and more I find myself walking through the woods locating good trees and potential staves, and next year they are still growing right where I left 'em.
