I don't think you should leave taps in the trees. I always wanted the tree to heal up when the sap season was over.  I miss making syrup since moving to Texas.

Lovely bow!

This tree is coming down in the spring. It is a silver maple that is ready to blow over on my house. Never cared about it much. Silver has a lower sugar % than others but still works.

Love those knotty staves and the fine lookin' bows that can be conjured out of 'em.  Nice work.

How you make a bow from a knoty peice of wood like that is beyond me...  I'm scared of knots.   :o      Good JOB!  AWESOME!
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?
