Paul the only hickory I've ever dropped with lighter heartwood is mockernut. Never seen a hickory with clear heartwood.

Looks like Christmas came early for you! Those are the kind of staves I can only dream about.

Certainly gonna make great bows, but when they split that straight, I'd be tempted to split shaft blanks out of it!

Marc, you mean all those staves I had loaded in my van when the Canadian border patrol said I wasn't allowed in the country. :)

Been splitting and scraping bark. 5 staves are twisted and knotty, 12 have a little character, 22 look like milled lumber. I have 3 floor tillered and sitting near the wood stove draining. Going to teach a woman and her boys to make a bow
