Scored some Crepe Myrtle staves!

[StickMan47]

Well I got lucky and came across some crepe myrtle trees that was in need of ummm.... pruning!  I cut 3 decent branches off a pretty large tree. From left to right ( I'm hoping my photobucket attachment works here) lengths are: 68", 63", and 75".

So here are a couple of pics, hopefully:

I am new to the whole pic thing so I'm just copy and pasting here. Hope this works. Next pic shows a little character in the staves.

Got it BH. I thought I remembered seeing something about the image code thing the other day in someone else's post. I figured it out. Hey in all seriousness I'd love to see what you can do with one of these staves. If you really want one I can send one your way. Send me a pm. I'll let you take your pick.

I have been taking a lot from everyones wisdom on here, I'd like to give a little back. You are one of many that helps the "new guys" like me. Thanks to eveyone who devotes their time to helping us out. I just discovered Ken75's thread on crepe myrtle and I got this stuff growing all over around here!! Time to start collecting!!
