Title: one more hickory ?
Post by: sadiejane on June 07, 2011, 09:05:41 pm

so dane and i finally got back to that hickory grove and cut three trees. which yeilded 14 splits 6'+.
as fer sealing, just the ends or the insides/fresh wood where split too?
most of the pieces lost their bark while splitting. it just started falling off.
anxious to start whittling on one of em.
but i gotta finish my trade bow before i can start anything else

I don't seal the splits but that don't mean you ain't 'sposed to.  You gonna like this stuff, sadiejane.
