Absoutely beautiful wood and crafmanship! Having split a lot ash for the stove,one of its great qualities is that it splits easily-did you take and extra precautions against splitting-pinning the wrist.etc.?
No....but I will give it some serious thought.
Thank you.
Beautiful work vapodog.....and beautiful wood!! I wouldn’t be too concerned about stability in those pieces. I too have split ALOT of ash and the straight grained pieces split incredibly easy - the not so straight pieces (branches, butt area, and other types of irregular natural features) do not and that’s were yours came from. I’ve had to use the 34-ton spliter on those pieces and they still do not easily split. Again great work and thanks for sharing!
I’ve been working with some black cherry burl on a couple of Winchester 9422 stocks that I’ll share when/if I can ever get them finished!
