Pecan Tree cut down.. Handle wood give away
« on: February 23, 2010, 06:31:00 PM »
Well just had a Pecan tree cut down and the rain started. Tomorrow I'll be getting some piece to send to raging Water so He can make some Bolt Nubs for take down Bows. I'll also try and have some cut for riser wood. The pieces are about 15"+/-.

After I get some picked out and de-barked I'll ruff cut them in half and do a Give away. I'll start out with giving away 5 pieces to 5 winners (1 each). After that and picking out some for My smoker and some for some friends if I have more left over I'll do another handle wood give away.

Let us know when you plan to do the handle give away.  I will definately throw my name in the pot.

Sal,

Have you considered sealing the ends of these pieces to prevent checking (unwanted splitting)?

Varnish, paint, or even glue can do the job, but is needs to happen right away.  Cracks will start showing up in a day or two...

Just a thought.

Yes, I'll be doing that in the Morning when I pick them out and start to de-bark them. Then I'll bring them inside to start to dry.
