What's in Your Stash?
« on: November 26, 2011, 09:11:39 am »
Just been tidying the garage where my stuff is and putting up another couple of shelves for timber.
Sorted out my stash, much of it is just stuff I've picked up and not the best quality, but here's what I got.
Yew
Laburnum
Cherry
Hornbeam
Hazel
Ash
Short billet of Maple
and a nice slat of Boo.
I'm managed to encroach onto area where Mrs Cat keeps her gardening tools... shhhhhh >:D

Only missing one ingredient Del! I will give you a hint............Its yellow?.....nice assortment of future shaving you have!

I have the following drying or dry:

white ash, American elm, red mulberry, shagbark hickory, hackberry, black locust, and osage. HHB is coming in a month or so. My aunt has some premium HHB growing in her pastured wood lot. Big, straight, clean stuff. Best I have seen yet.

Sparkle Berry...? ???
Are you sure you didn't just make that one up? Or is it something given to you by your fairy godmother? ::)

I was thinking you were getting a bit personal there Del until I read a little farther.  ::)
  My wood stash is extensive. A little of this, a little of that and even some of those.
     Off the top of my head I have osage, locust, ash, elm, ERC, hickory, maple(s), yew, juniper(western), HHB, hornbeam, hackberry...and I'm sure others. That is my bow wood. For arrows I have sourwood, hill cane, river cane, switch cane, bambusa, Tonkin cane, viburnum(s), cherry, ramin dowels and probably others too.
  If anyone need a nice well seasoned stave, come on over and I'll set you up. In store deals only!  ;D

Here are a few pictures of part of it, staves then billets, actually a drop in the bucket of my total stash.





OOPS! forgot bamboo, this is now dry, cut into slats and planed smooth on the belly.

I have:
4 bamboo slats raw
one piece of hard birch that will get two bows,
4 pieces of roughly 1/4 X1.25 or bigger Hickory, all sap wood.  I plan to glue them togeather into a recurve.  Possibly take down.
1 piece of Lyptus that will be my taper jig for bamboo sandwich type bows or Glass bows (I hate working with glass).


Then on another wall I have 3 roughly 5"X8"X4'-5' flitches of yellow pear.
two 8" dia lX 2' logs of linden.  A 4' by 5" by 10" flitch of Linden (Bass wood)~ I'm a carver.
Several flitches from logs of Cherry, Walnut, Syccamore.
A couple cants of Oak (White?). 
Two large lile 5"X6" (or bigger) by 8' cants of hard maple with pretty straight grain.  Thos can be resawn into several bow blanks if you trust maple.  I'm not certain I do or if I do it will be the core on a sandwich bow.

I have osage, hickory, juniper, crepe myrtle and honey locust in staves; osage, ipe, maple, birch and bamboo in boards or backings.  However, the lions share of my wood is yellow (and crooked) too.
