Title: Got me some wood!
Post by: DuBois on May 20, 2013, 09:38:31 pm
 Had to get to this ERC and buckthorn across the street.
Two 8" ERC logs with real straight grain and about 74" long. Split down the middle and got 4 halves. 2 debarked and 2 not yet.
Also 5 rhamnus cathartica buckthorn(http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s662/mdubois7/004_zps016db23e.jpg) (http://s1311.photobucket.com/user/mdubois7/media/004_zps016db23e.jpg.html)ns about 3" and real straight.
I CANT STOP >:D :'( >:D :'( >:D

It's good to know someone really cares about my plight  ;)
Got the 2 on the bottom of the pic with the bark on debarked tonight before work and there should be at least 5 great long staves out of these and a couple of shorter nice ones to boot.
