What Did You Do Today?

[Eric Krewson]

It is more like "I don't need wood and I remember what it is like to pound on a sledge hammer and pull on a draw knife for a solid month", I think I will pass on the big trees.

I have osage, yew, hickory, dogwood and mulberry staves and billets in my stash, elm, hackberry, hop horn beam(iron wood), cherry and walnut in standing form on my little patch of woods. Don't need to trade for anything else.

Eric, quit rubbing it in...

I pealed and sealed some osage staves for my stash today.  I tore into a few of my special red ones.  They are purty    Blackhawk and Matt Wirwicki traded me out of some of these at the Classic.  I hope yours look as good as this one.

Both staves were cut at the same time and peeled today. 

[blackhawk]

Wow....those are looking great pal....can't wait to tear into mine...but it might be a bit before I can..next week at the earliest...I love the darker hedge

[Roy]

The stave on the left is too green. Ya need to let them season at least 4 to 5 years to be any good.

[osage outlaw]

They are both green Roy.  Both were cut at the same time and both debarked at the same time.  Is your eyesight starting to go at your advanced age?

I picked up some lumber and began building a lean-to for my osage.  Seems I'm running out of room in my barn for staves.  Hoping the osage seasons better outside, but still protected from rain.  Plan on finishing today, I'll post pics.

If you add runners up underneath the roof of the lean-to, you could store the staves up on them, just under the roof - it'd make sure the rain never touches them

Typical Roy.  Been retired a little over a week now, and already he can not tell green from yellow.  So sad.

[osage outlaw]

I got a colorful package in the mail today    I'm saving these babies for something special. 

[stringstretcher]

You sure do get some nice packages there Clint.  Be glad to see those on a bow.  I finally got all my wet stuff dried out, and ready to pack away for next time.  I have been in rain since I left on Monday, and it just stopped sometime last night.  And guess what, more showers this evening and tomorrow.

[PEARL DRUMS]

That why we packed up Friday night Charlie. I couldnt stand the thought of a truck load of sponges to haul home and dry out/clean up. Next year I may have a tin box hooked to the back of my truck rather than a tent.

[osage outlaw]

Pearly, make sure you get a tin box big enough to fit an extra snoring bear in case of rain

You girls aren't made from sugar, so ya  all won't melt. The real Trad Men stayed and toughed it out. And the sissy pants girls went home early:)

LMAO
