I generally give my wood a year, but a thin Hazel stave would probably be ready in 6 months.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654835987876553254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493681473159888383.post-13419085367192093442015-08-21T22:37:10.932+01:002015-08-21T22:37:10.932+01:00Hi Derek,

I'm now working on a hazel prod for a crossbow and have it nearly tillered. I want to get another (actually no. 4) started and would like to know what you recommend as far as seasoning goes. I am backing the bow with linen string (hide glue) because the first blew out on the back. This one looks like is may have some ooomph - I hope!<br />Thanks in advance,<br />Jim (Walton)Jim Waltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554335768345218784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493681473159888383.post-64229860259057253462013-05-10T07:26:11.057+01:002013-05-10T07:26:11.057+01:00I told the truth and blamed someone else!
