Todays haul
« on: February 26, 2016, 08:02:38 pm »
Today I cut some ERC.. nice stuff, some elm... No fun splitting and I've still got a log to go because I bout stroked out trying to split it! Also found a mulberry. Not straight at all with a split trunk and some goofy stuff going on, but I got a few staves from it. I sealed the ends in glue and took the bark minus some cambium off the elm. Now the wait begins.

Steve, I think I'm getting credit I don't deserve. I was just saying how I split elm. It isn't my stash of staves. :)

I did cut a stash of Osage staves and billets, but a lot of them are too snakey to make a bow out of--looping way outside a centerline. Wish I had a wood stove.

The best quality of elm is the interlocking grain. The worst quality of elm is the interlocking grain. Bandsaw.

I hand split HHB & American HB for months before I found any elm to cut. At that point, elm seemed like a welcome relief.
