Lotta work for a little wood
« on: April 28, 2012, 05:16:58 pm »
Each piece required a half mile round trip, I carried the two poles at once with my chainsaw. The smallest is 3-4" up to 8-9" or so. From left to right. The first set of three are HHB, the next set of three is American Elm and the last chunk is a shagbark hickory log......HEAVY :o I peeled them in the woods to save a few pounds on each load.

I feel for you sir. It took me 2 weeks to recover getting wood from Iowabow. I have renamed his back yard 'Mt Everest'.
The wood looks really nice. I am looking forward to see what you make from them!

Nice haul, Pearlie. You should get quite a few staves and bows from those logs. Stop your griping and get busy!  ;)   ;D

If you had carried them all at one time you would have cut out a lot of walking.
 Just saying...

You could have made two bows in the time it took you to carry those out  ;D

Nice haul buddy.

The two HHB poles on the left excite me the most. I have a vision......

  I can't say much I use to cary a folding saw all the time. I cut and carryed so many saplings I had to take my saw out of my pack. I must have a 100 mental notes tucked away since I took my saw out of my pack. But I still cut and carry a couple every winter just not nearly as many. Now my wood comes way easyer.
