Title: Fenceposts
Post by: West Augusta on July 24, 2012, 05:19:17 PM

West Augusta style.  *lol*
I have heard about Missouri fenceposts and mud cured Osage fenceposts since I joined turkey hunting forums and thought that I would give it a try. I found this puppy buried in mud and leaves beside my deer stand last fall. I scraped off the mud, moss and leaves and let it dry a little while deer hunting. At the end of the day I carried it back to the truck. After eight months of drying I decided to see what it actually was. I was hoping for mud cured locust but got a beautiful golden mud cured white oak instead. They turned out pretty good. The one with the broken peg is mine. The others are for the Three Amigos.

We've got some old posts upstate here and there, don't know what they are, but they've been there a long time.

I'm betting on locust, but don't know.....

I heard about this story some time ago, so it's great to see the ending...no surprise the end result is more fabulous strikers from mtns of WV--super stuff Steve.

Nice work Steve...a super find and great story behind the work.   RkLu That really makes it special. Is there anything you won't make a striker out of?????  I got an old favorite pair of boots around here I mite contribute...they got many, many miles on 'em and pre-soaked in turkey blood!  :D

LT, you might be surprised at some of the things I've tried. If I could get those boots to soak up enough CA I might even make them work. *lol* Love making strikers.

I was joking with Rickey the other day that two of his favorite strikers I made for him, I made from wood that most wouldn't use for kindling. *lol*
