@madblunted 12 years ago

@BoydCommunications ok in saying that, when does one harvest that? fall? spring? that stuff looks awesome.
@richardsanders5266 11 years ago

I wouldn't think you would need to fuse the ends... Once the wood dries, if there is any gap to it, it should end up getting held together when you stretch the hide over it.
