Pictures, Pago?  You want Pictures???  How about one of my fat rear end bravely holding an 80 percent letoff compound at full draw?  Ummmm, I don't think so!😝

I actually took down a couple of small trees this week--not exactly Osage and Yew--would you believe Slash Pine and Hackberry?  I figured what the heck--might use the wood someday--sealed the ends with wood glue and put them up on a rack in a shed.  Tried to split the suckers but got nowhere with wedges and a 3-pound hammer.

I will not tell any of you the deep secret of what my go-to wood is likely to be.  Let's just say I live in a place called "Liveoak Peninsula".  😊

Best regards,

Russ
