Sweet little haul there! I really like this buckthorn wood.
I got a few good staves right now and was gonna post these others on another post, but this seems a good spot.
2 split staves had ring separation all the way down the length. I cut them in Dec. and had some real cold days since. I never noticed the rings then. You think that the cold split em?
I don't think I should use them but? What do you all think?
