crape myrtle dimensions?
« on: June 02, 2014, 07:42:28 pm »
I got my hands on a good crape myrtle limb.  Its 3" wide 80" long.  I didn't get poly on it quick enough and it split the next day after I cut it. It is about 8" and about 1" into the limb.  Should I split it or cut the log down past the split.

I always split my crepe myrtle, rough it into a bow blank and coat the back and ends with 2 coats of pva. If you keep it in the round it will continue to split and you will end up with crap myrtle.
