I found about six bois d'arcs on my aunt's farm. They're in a thicket where the cows get shade. These things have been there at least twenty years but I never saw them for what they are until I got into bow making.
If any of you live in Erath County I'd be willing to share a log if you'd lend some experience to the felling and splitting process.

I live in Dallas County, and do not know much, but I would help on a saturday.
It turns out I'm only able to get a few branches. I'm sorry for posting before I'd gotten the required permission.
