I'm out of the orange King

Been chasing rings on a couple of black locust and a mulberry stave and preparing a hackberry which I also have to chase a ring on due
to one stinkin' borer. Also considering my last buckthorn stave which has some issues that might not make it suitable for a trade bow. Doing this so I have some options ready when I draw my recipients name and do my research so I can pick a wood and bow style.
Yeah I feel the energy around this trade, my 1st trade and I'm excited. Gonna be some big fun!
