Nice harvest
« on: November 10, 2007, 10:51:04 am »
 It sure pays to make bows for the kids in the nieghborhood.My 10 year old next door nieghbor was looking out for Mr.Eddie while he was riding with his mom yesterday.He not only got her to put two 5' pieces in her brand new car but then had her MapQuest where it was at for me.So I went and loaded all this Sat. Morning.I got this out of a trash pile that was about 6' high and 30' long.I liked how some of it was black.Now I have a few days ahead of me splitting it to dry.

I haven't ever cut any that big but a buddy, Eric Krewson has.  He cautioned me about curing them.  Evidently they wiill warp badly and will split spontaneiously.  If I recall correctly he likes to poke out the center and let them dry whole.  Hopefully he will stop by and offer his opinion.

Nice haul dude.
