thanks

I think quarter sawn will be strong vertically, but Euc cracks between rings. So may flat sawn and install so that it arches up and cups down

Thought it interesting how the tension side is a continuous run. I’m sure if you don’t make it that way, or you pull it the other way, it explodes. Like runout in an axe handle.

I’d like to try Osage for a handle. I have some I cut down, but I’m afraid it might have died and been desert dried for too many decades.
