Very cool video. Thanks Clay
Man you make it look so simple. I'm sniping a elm sapling from the railroad tracks this weekend :biglaugh:
Great video. Great work
Excellent build Clay. So simple even a caveman could do it...and probably did. Well done! :thumbsup:
Good stuff Clay! :thumbsup:
Inspirational for sure. The elm around here is mostly in somebody's yard. Wonder how serviceberry would work?

some woods might not be so forgiving of a quick dry. I would work out my drying process with a split off a stave before working it to shape too much. something about 7/16 for its entire length? I notice clay did most of his reduction to thickness before drying, but left the width reduction until after it was dry.
Primitive? Not really. Crude in the sense of non refined, yes. I see clamps, a form made from milled lumber and a makeshift oven with metal sides.
It's still cool to see and the level of skill is admirable :thumbsup:
