Yup, can't beat getting out into the woods. The bluebells are just out over here :).
I think a chainsaw is cheating.. you should use a bowsaw, flint axe or a beaver on a stick ::)

Way to go Bryce! That's going to make some awesome bows! You have to love that vine maple! Man you have quite a backyard! It's amazing how much Oregon and Washington are alike. Your backyard looks just about like mine.          Dale

Nice haul buddy. 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Up to my ears in OS, dogwood is something I would like to have more of, only got one at the moment.
