Anybody cut any bow wood recently (in the states)?...
« on: March 26, 2012, 09:44:53 pm »
...and know if the bark was peeling yet? I know the silver maple in my yard is just starting to bud... The mulberry's have been budding for a week or a couple with some good sized leaves started... The amur honey suckles that are everywhere have budded and have some good sized leaves started... I know the hackberry tree's in my yard are still yet to bud though.

Yep I cut some hickory today in Ga. and was able to pull the  bark of in a single piece. It's definately ready. Ron
If we can't help each other what is the point of being here?

Cut some hackberry, osage, elm, and HHB at iowabow's place a week ago.

Peeled the hackberry slicker than snot.
