I noticed a black cherry that the top half blew out of this summer that was lodged off the ground. I saw a couple of straight sections and cut them and split them. They didn't look so straight after splitting. Are there bows to be made here? I cut most up for firewood, and saved 8 staves that are highly "questionable"
I also cut a tall sassafras, this 5" on the small end was over 50 ears old, really straight but split with a 20 degree prop twist. This stave is 7' long, another 4' section was saved as well. Are they worth messing with?
I appreciate your opinions, the cherry can be firewood if it's not bow worthy...
