For Sale....Old Growth SHAFT WOOD

[Roger Illinois]

Ring count

I know the photos do no justice. These were made into 1" boards in 1940-1950, that is 60-70+ years of aging. Being well aged, they are heavier and more dense than the snow whit wood that is available today. They are not lake salvage.
I was surprised to find how hard and dense it is.

I have more of this than I can use for myself. I am not interested in making shafts!
I just want to share this find with others.

I have been asked by several, the ring count.
10-12, 9-11, the one everyone think looks like curly maple-too many to count, the other 15-18.
Please do not ask ring count by number of shaft and keep in mind these are all less than 1".

The one that looks like curly maple , #4, will make a great break shaft. It has too many growth rings to even count.
Not all rounds are available.........

I can replace #4 with a nice round 19-21 rings per inch, although the round is only .93-.95 (less than 1").

I have some old growth (1940-1950) hard rock maple shaft wood for sale. I have labeled the shafts by number and dimensions. These are ready for final cut and your taper.
$15.00 + shipping or $22.00 shipped

These are all straight taper pieces. I have labeled the shafts by number and dimensions.
I can not verify whether it is from 1940 or 1950, but they are old growth.
I got this wood in 1" boards.
I also have a few rounds that I can list a little later.
PM me if you are interested.
