Zion, we have great low humidity out here in AZ, just ship some of those my way, and I am sure most will survive the seasoning....one or two may need to be withheld, just for scientific research purposes, of course!

Zion, how long did you season it? You live in a dry area don't you?

Yeah i live in a pretty darn dry place lol. I let it dry in the whole with bark on and ends sealed for about 5-6 months. Then i roughed it out and debarked it, clamped it on a straight board and sealed the belly with elmer's. I let it sit like that for about another month. Then i took it down to floor tiller and heat treated it. Let it sit for another week then got first low brace and then tillered it out. Took me another month to get around to finishing it and then i shot it in.

Awesome as usual!  Cracks and all!
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?
