Magnolia, good for any thing?
« on: April 23, 2010, 10:47:38 am »
Im cutting down an old magnolia tree.  I assume magnolia is not a good bow wood, but is there any thing it would be good for?

If it's straight enough, it might make arrows. Tulip poplar is in the magnolia family, and it makes good arrows.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.
