Looks like 20-25 bow to me.  More important is the months of fun contained in there.  ;) Justin

It's best to wear long sleeve shirts when cutting wood.  Nice haul

Looks like some good logs in there.  Lets see a pic when you get them split in staves.  Thats when you find out what you have.  Not sure I'd want to tackle that twisty one, I predict it'll be a bugger to split.

That twisty one is interesting.
Imagine splitting it into quarters. Two wild sideways snake staves, two wild forwards backwards staves! Not too many snaky front to back bows made!

That thing is going to split on it's own....if you don't split it yourelf....trust me....and then you have no control over how and where it does Split.....at least slit it in Half..........

Nice wood there! If you just gotta get rid of some, I've got room (or I'll make it ;D).
