Was just wondering how your hunt went Pearly, now I know. Sorry to hear that you didn't bag your buck. Good to hear 'bout that yellow wood though.......Art

It was all the trip I could have asked for Guy. It was safe, fun and I met some GREAT people down there. Its always a good feeling meeting people farther away from home that are good people, reassuring is the word I guess. The world really is full of good people, its just the bad ones get all the publicity!


By the way I used deck stain to seal the ends and it almost has a rubbery feel to it. I think its going to work great and cost less than urethanes do. Give it a try if you have some leftover stain in the garage.

I wondered about deck stain as a sealant, but wasn't sure what all it had in it.  I didn't know if it would actually seal the wood.  Let me know how it works.

Clint I figured if I trust it to seal my deck from 14" of snow and ice it has to be able to seal osage ends stored in a dry basement. I dipped the whole end right into the can and let it dry for a few hours, then did the other end and stood it on end allowing the sealer to flow down into the end pores. Im thinking its fool proof...............

FINALLY! I was able to get all my 14 logs split up. I count just over 60 1/4 log's. Over half of them will get split again. Im guessing the total may get towards one hundred easily. There are plenty of belly splits not counted as well. I think Im good for the next 10-12 years!

That long dude on the top is a 3 yr old hackberry 1/4. Thats a monster with at least 2-3 bows in it. The pic is a bit deceiving. Those staves are all 80" or well over that. Except for the sister billets of course. And NO I dont use that electric weed wacker, my wife bought it second hand because it was "cute".

That is a nice pile of yellow bow wood  right there.  Now you are ready for the hard part, getting rid of all that bark and sapwood.

That stuff stays on until I start my build Clint. I dont mess with ripping it off all of them. That would take months man.

You are crazy Noel! It would take weeks to peel and seal that many logs. I would give you at least 3 or 4....................
