It's funny you say that:) according to my family history. Us Ott folk moved from Germany to Scandinavia then to Oregon for timber. Feel free to come on over ;)
It's the best! There is more variety of bow wood than I can think of. Not to mention the wildlife, highest concentration of bears in the lower 48. Record size elk, and salmon. I don't think I'll ever leave.

I had the pleasure of band-sawing that yew.  I have never seen such consistency in yew from any one area.  They were like cloned tight-ringed 1/4" sapwood beauties.  Nice haul Bryce. Thanks for leaving me with one.

Thanks guys. I just finished sealing it all up and putting it away. I had to move some stuff around in the shop, but I made it fit.

I called the old guy today to see if I could get the rest if what he said I could have and he said,"no."
No elaboration... Nothing. So I guess this is it.
Oh well.
I'm grateful:)

Carson, don't loose that peice in one of your wood piles.
