Here is my set up, fleshing pole and dull draw knife, ringing rack, rope and hard wire for softening. Of course my hides aren't as big as yours.

Times of plenty, for sure! Lots of Bucks taken here, with the Rut going full bore. Always like seeing the Scouts too.  (=) Bob.

You need to oven dry the samples for hours down to 0% water content if you want to get an accurate reading, that´s why Tim Baker suggested a small narrow sample  - like a 1/2 inch diameter dowel with square sides. I think Tim mentioned 4 hours oven time for a small sample.

Technology seems to have increased the quality and size of a photo within that size. So I found a photosizer thats super easy to use, even easier than the old way. https://www.simpleimageresizer.com/resize-image-to-250-kb

That should do what you need. Images need to be 250kb or less.

Bows / Picture size ?

Has the picture size requirements changed. I’m trying to post a new bow the same way I always have and can’t get it posted. Pictures are sized at 640x480, or 480x640.

Ok I made a white pine 1” cube it weighed.36 so lighter than the black locust. Specific gravity was .45 in the Bible. Here is the float test . Could not get it to float right but more above the water line. Not as dense .

Assuming the dimensions are very close to 1 cubic inch, thays pinr block is .62 sg. Im starting to question the accuracy of that list in the TBB.

Arvin, is that tap water or pure distilled water? That does make a difference in float height.
