In north Louisiana we have a lot of winged elm(ulmus alata) it smells like somebody pissed on the fire when you burn it, it is twisty kinda like sweetgum(liquedamber styraciflua) but much harder. Hence the expression "harder than a piss elum club". Cheers!

yes.

I like the Poulans I pick out of the dump with the rotted fuel lines.

I made one, I use it quite a bit.

Does anyone know what the difference between the 670 champ and 670 super or west coast are, if any?

Not Hophornbeam.

Just wondering, what does chewing the inner bark of slippery elm do? We only have winged elm and a few American elms in my region.

I like my Fiskar splitting axe X27 or whatever it's called, but I love my old Keen Kutter for cutting wood. It's a 4 1/2 lb razor blade mounted on a 32" piece of American hickory and it's been around for over 100 years. It's just a fine tool and I appreciate a fine tool.

The sapwood makes better striking tool handles, it has more spring to it. I make a few when I have time, hickory is good, but I like white oak too, specially since it's a little easier/faster to work. And they seem to last me just as long. The important thing is grain orientation. Think of a...

House handle company makes good hickory handles for everything that could possibly need a handle, and they will cost you less than a hardware store.

Money sent. Thanks.

A friend of mine who has gone before tells me the competitions start on Saturday morning. I was planning on going, but other priorities took over.

What are the other Macs?

Some where asking about bows again, hope the video works.

My Dad worked in that mill in the late 60s,we lived in Dodson until '77. Still go eat fish there once in a while. Dodson will always be my home town. It's still in the 80s out in the Gulf, but I can't wait to get back on land and enjoy the cooler weather.

Bring a used tire or 2 also. :chop: Thanks for the story Unc.

My old PM700 is still kicking hard after many years of cutting. In the newer class of saws, I'd have to say my Stihl 460 is the most reliable.

You did the guy a favor, it's your wood. If he wants it back sell it to him.

I use a poison called "Just One Bite" they come in bars and I put a bar of it into a short 3' piece of 4" pvc. this keeps away the non-target animals and works very good on rats and mice. Snakes will follow the rats, so I don't like having them around. Nothing like uncovering a coiled up...
