I would think hickory would be on the heavy side, but it sure would be durable. What goes up must come down, what goes around comes around, there's no free lunch. Trump's comin' back, get over it!

I would think hickory would be on the heavy side, but it sure would be durable. actually ash is also on the heavy side. In this case however the wood grain trumps (did I say that?) the weight. I got some serious backlog of projects that have delayed the finishing of the rest of the ash stocks but will back on them soon. This retirement gig isn't at all bad.

When you build it with fresh cut poles, they're incredibly strong and have quite a bit of flex when a cow hits them. Acter they season, still strong but hard as a rock. You can saw and drill them, but an ax will just bounce. I bet a stock from well seasoned ash would be very stable. But not a lightweight. Just read back and see I posted a year ago. Oops!
