Coffee anyone?
« on: November 26, 2015, 05:27:12 pm »
This KY coffeetree fell during the summer, had leaves on it until fall.  With the rain forecast things will probably get nasty, so I decided to knock out some staves today..

Wow... Joe you were right!!!  That looks like it might be a little tough to get those out of there... Guess you accessed those by boat.
Sure wish I could have been there with ya...
Nice haul!!

No, took the boats out last weekend... like a dummy... had to pack them about a hundred yards and up a steep 40 foot incline to the truck..  There's still 3 or 4 to pack... I was whooped...  Before I started the saw a flock of turkey was yelping and 2 or 3 gobbled... Thanksgiving turkey!

Yeah Chris, that's my back yard... When I give Bill one of these staves he's gonna have to name the bow riverrat

Nice looking haul Joe.  That is some beautiful scenery.  I might have to trade you out of one of those staves at Moontree in a few months. 


Did you see my post about the gold coated deer teeth?  Have you ever heard of that before?

It is a beautiful wood, hinges easily, but makes a snappy bow.  The one I built this year I got complete pass throughs with.. and a few pass unders too....







The time stamp tells the tale... at least KCT splits easily!

Some other shots...

Nice Haul! Looks like some good straight, clean coffee wood. Looks like a that trail gets quite a bit of use too!
