Where to cut wood in CA (or anywhere else)
« on: June 12, 2016, 08:43:36 pm »
Does anyone know where you can cut wood in California? I don't need to cut down a tree but a branch of considerable size would be good. Is there a permit that allows someone to cut in national Forrests or is this only for dead wood? I'm wondering as there is not much BLM land in CA and there are many useful bow woods near me that are in national forrests.

There is a ton of blm land here in sunny Calif, tgere is buckthorn some osage that is hard to find, juniper incense cedar even some yew. Lots of oak if you can find some that's not dead from oak fever, madrone locust and others. You can get it but getting permission and or permits and gas and all unless you get juniper that is fairly easy to find you are money ahead to get on the trade page and see what you can get

What do you mean osage is located at Buckthorn. Where is buckthorn?
So besides BLM land (and private property of friends) is there any other places you can cut wood at?

I think I have heard of osage in CA but I never really found out wherever was at. Where do you find it?

Juniper branches will make a good bow

This is a good thread, I have been wondering the same

You mean... juniper self bows?
Apparently bamboo backing them can work well, according to 'Utah Bowyer' from paleoplanet

Yeah...I'm not very creative when it comes to pseudonyms so I just thought "Hey, Marin was a chief, I'll haut choose that"
And yes, I know of he wood but are sure you can cut it in those areas? I'm just curious how you can tell where it is legal to cut and not legal to cut?

You have to make some calls maybe get a permit, or find a landowner that will let you trim up some trees.
