alright, that's fine, we would just need to leave early, either way we need about 50-80 bucks for gas.

well, if we take the Buick century it will be like 50 because we take about half a tank to get there and probably another half a tank to get back. but then we have to consider room for staves  ::)

i wouldnt be supprised if it acts similar to oak. takes pretty much the same amount of set, maybe a bit more.

Heck yea, why not?  If you guys are getting bow wood and I have to either buy it or drive my F350 out to get some myself then, sure.
Especially if you are getting yew.   Maybe Bryce doesn't want to do that so you guys work it out and let me know.
