Slowly, i stalked her. Watching her every move. Silently moving in for the kill, only to find she was so perfectly tuned to nature i couldn't take the shot. My stomach was growling, yet i couldn't take the shot. My desire to see beauty overpowered my desire to eat.

Yes, bark can change quite a bit as a tree matures.

No problem, I love hickory as a bowwood, especially saplings!

FAIR WARNING!  That bark is stuck tight on that hickory this time of year and it's like armor plating.  I would wait till spring to drop the hickory. I'd put up some dogwood and elm if you got it for now.  The bark comes off of them nice with a draw knife even though its stuck tight this time of year.  Josh

I was just cutting hickory in SC last weekend and the bark, although not full of water and easily peeled, is still able to be scraped off with a drawknife and the back of a knife without to much effort.
Might be different in other states though.

It would be in your best interest to be sure about that.  If he drops that hickory and the bark is stuck as tight as it is most everywhere else........well.....we all know Mr. Rodney isn't exactly bashful about speaking his mind when he's provoked! :o ;) >:D. Josh

Come on guys, I said I was sorry for the previous remarks. If I need to wait, I'll wait.. But there are 20+ saplings around this one.


Forgive and forget.
