I've been busy..................
« on: February 06, 2013, 12:35:35 am »
.......................Cutting buckthorn!!!  Yesterday, I decided to harvest some "weeds" at a local forest preserve.  12 hours and a ton of work yielded  52 full length(68"-82") staves and 3 sets of billets. I have also got 25 more staves debarked and drying in my basement. Hopefully they will be dry enough to bring to Tennessee and Marshall.  I plan on going out again, there's a lot more out there!!

Way to get after that!  That is the way to harvest bow wood right there.

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

That looks like a rewarding twelve hours.  :) When splitting you staves how wide are you shooting for.
