Break it I have   ;D 

 I hope Lulyn doesn't see this thread,  She been calling me Yoda for a while,,, something about going around in the woods sniffing trees and running your hands up and down them makes people think your weird or something. ::)

i pulled in a good half dozen 6 foot logs yesterday, but even if they were taken from a high hillside where this nice man logs, i don't think the hills on vancouver island are high enough to really count. 

We could have brought back some nice fence post also lol.

OH ok!!!!

EVERYONE, I want to introduce Mario, or Mar.   He's new to bowmaking and he lives near me.  Contacted me two weeks ago asking for a stick of yew...So now he's got two big logs and i have got the rest.

You split them suckers, yet?  Find Timo's Split-Along?   Dude, get cracking!

those look like good logs...i should get on over to Sage's house with a bottle of tb2 and glue the ends i guess...lazy, shortbow maker.  We cut the logs 6 feet plus or minus...be good to get a few that long...supersized longbows hurt my back to tiller, though.

Mar, you read the yoda stuff?  God these guys are funny.

those are some dandy logs!!! they look real clean and straight. although you never know until you split them. I have had straight looking logs corkscrew  when split. post pics of split staves! dont show them to Keenan though,  :-X he starts foaming at the mouth and doing weird mumbling and cant stop his hands from moving like he is drawknifing. some people would think that was strange. but we here know better. ;D

Now that you mention it there is a kind of strange resemblance between Keenan and Yoda  :o

Those are some reallly nice logs Mar - you outa be able to coax a few good bows out of that.
