I hear ya Pap and Keenan about that posy tillering deal.
Well to day I might rough out two choke cherry cut back in Oct.They've been a stave for that long anyway.Gonna clamp it to a form like Dean Torges' R/D form to be sure it don't twist only in a very slight reflex.Just enough to get enough pressure so It can't twist on me..The staves have been behaving good so far but still don't trust it.It's cold here too and drying is'nt very fast which might be a blessing in disquise.I'll cut it 2" wide and 1" or maybe 3/4" thick the whole way evenly except for the handle of course.I know it's different cherry but I might still sinew these on acount of blackhawks' explosion lately.

I just replaced the thrust bearings on my bandsaw.  The ones that were on there when I bought it were not sealed and did not spin very easily.  It works much better now.

Damn fine butchering weather Scott. Dad and I get after beef and hogs often enough. Dad is a old world German sausage maker. He has anything and eveything realted to slaughtering, butchering and processing anything humans eat. I love knowing where every stitch of meat came from.

Same here, Chris. You can't buy that kind of confidence. Knowing how it was raised and butchered makes me feel a lot better about putting it on the table.
