fencepost - 67.5 ntn - 50# @ 28"
« on: January 21, 2022, 12:32:44 pm »
Hello Guys  :D

A little while ago I was once again looking for our baby kittens which their mama always tried to hide from us. she often brought them to our neighbours farm. So while once more searching for the baby kittens I noticed my neighbours fence post depot. It somehow looked  interesting....there were yew fence post amongst... ;D I then spoke to my neighbour and traded a fencepost for just something, cut it into sister-billets and made a bow. not the rot in the heartwood nor the worms in the sap lead to major problems; I was too lucky to find that the worms just stopped worming one ring above the back and the rot just stopped rotting one ring beyond the belly. very happy  (-S

cheers
