Well today I spent an hour or so gathering up a few pieces of Vinemaple for a good buddy. Snagged a pair of billets for myself :) I think there might be a character stave in there somewhere.
Anyways, I love Oregon and all it's beauty and bounty of bow wood.

Looks like you had a perfect day for a walk in the bush. Thanks for sharing the pics. That's some beautiful country you have out there.

Gotta say, I'm missing Oregon.
Although, the sunshine is nice, everyday infact...
-
Sunshine EVERYDAY?! Sounds like nightmare!
You need to come back up here where it rains 270 days out of the year lol
-
this summer im heading into the woods to cut up some branches. SS
-
Yup, can't beat getting out into the woods. The bluebells are just out over here :).
I think a chainsaw is cheating.. you should use a bowsaw, flint axe or a beaver on a stick ::)

great choice in saws and a good haul too.
-
or a beaver on a stick ::)

Nice! I can't seem to find vine maple that straight. I keep looking though.

Way to go Bryce! That's going to make some awesome bows! You have to love that vine maple! Man you have quite a backyard! It's amazing how much Oregon and Washington are alike. Your backyard looks just about like mine. Dale

Up to my ears in OS, dogwood is something I would like to have more of, only got one at the moment.
