I was kinda hoping you'd like a trade Clint. It's a fine bow wood. I made bows out of those two Osage staves I bought from you at Marshall. Need to get some pictures and post em.

Thanks Bob, so far I have 13 beautiful staves split, pealed and sealed. I know where there's more I can get but I told my buddy I had to get these taken care of first. The cutting em down part is the easy part.

WOW! Those are very nice HHB staves. I might have to steal one from this spring :)

BJ, It would be nice if you could crank that pressure washer up to full throttle and blast sapwood off like you do the bark.

Sure would Clint. It doesn't work though.

Well it's been what Ive been up to for a few days now. It's been really bothering me watching all my nice mature ash trees die. Awhile back I sawed some logs Ive had on piles for a few years. They made nice lumber yet. I used it to finish my walls on my man cave. This building has been a work in progress. When I first bought this Place it was one of several buildings that were falling down.
I decided to try and save this one. It's looking pretty good now.
To be continued.

Thanks Clint. It's a mess right now. Saw dust everywhere. Would have been nice to do it in summer and prep all my boards outside. I'm really looking forward to seeing it all done and cleaned up. I guess one of the reasons I'm posting this is to let people know. If you've got dead ash trees they might still make good lumber. Or at least paneling. These were beautiful trees that I put off cutting down, hoping they would somehow survive. They didn't, none of the ash trees here did. At least I have something to remember them by.

PS looking forward to seeing what you do with those Osage slabs you sawed

Are you going to stain or seal them with anything?

I'm not going to stain. I like the color and everything I hang on the wall just really seems to pop. I sanded every board with hand belt sander to get the fuzzies off. Still left some saw marks. Was band sawmill and sawed pretty decent. I'm planning on sealing it with something yet. I know if I don't it'll just get that dirty look and I will lose the color and grain. Open to suggestions on sealer.
