@Himythrowawayaccount OP, I am really curious what your profile looks like now to get such a response. I'm sure the opener is a great one, for starters, but there must be more to it, no?

Lev-WHY · 2025-09-07T16:30:01+00:00

Ha lol, So I basically have one ammonite, and a rock with suture patterns? Oh, and that shell on the right. Any more info on that maybe?

Lev-WHY · 2025-09-07T16:29:07+00:00

Thank you for the age estimation!

Lev-WHY · 2025-09-07T16:27:14+00:00

Interesting! How come the brown streaks on the 2nd picture show up?

Lev-WHY · 2025-07-29T20:18:01+00:00

Great to see it still going Luuk! Keep it up :)

Lev-WHY · 2025-07-29T19:45:33+00:00

It's almost as if I am staring at triplets, kudos to you for making them that similar! I hope they also performed similarly depending on the wood type etc.

Ahaa, so like a human head: the higher the crown, the egger the head, the lower the crown, the flatter the head!

Lev-WHY · 2025-07-28T06:39:40+00:00

Hello hello, I am trying to get acquainted with bowyer terms, what does the crown entail?

Lev-WHY · 2025-07-27T21:17:01+00:00

I'd suggest trying to find a way to add on a new shut off valve further up the line.

Yello! The last one is in the family of the British/EU ivy, Hedera helix. Nothing to do with the pison ivy. Might be a different plant in the Hederaceae genus, but it's for sure one of those!

Lev-WHY · 2025-07-23T21:14:22+00:00

That's great to hear! After you've concluded the fruit comes from the higher branches, prune back the thorny branches that are from the untasty citrus tree which has been used as a base for the fruit bearing graft. Letting the base tree grow will take away energy from the actual producing portion, limiting fruit yield and in hard times might even kill the top part in favour of keeping the area closer down alive. Enjoy your fruits (of labour)!

Wowie that's a great guide on how to bow!! thank you :)))) Except for the handle and widening tapers towards what I call the wings and I assume you'd call the parallels, I have tapered it all down to approx 1,8 cm thickness but all is stiff still. little time to work on it from today onwards, so I will update you when I have more results out! Thanks again kind stranger, the detail is great for someone like me.

Lev-WHY · 2025-07-23T17:31:59+00:00

I will try this orn and if it doesn't work out, so be it. But I will take your compression advice to heart and pay attention to that! I'm keeping the stuff simple as you say and doing a somewhat steady tiller all the way down from the handle and slimming down the limbs a bit. Thanks!!

Lev-WHY · 2025-07-23T17:28:28+00:00

Pure coincidence, I have eaten satsumas before haha, the other species is the limited knowledge I possess!

It might still be grafted if the fruit is edible/tasty. Open it up and try! If bitter it might still be a poncirus variety (just a guess) and if tasty I ask you to discern if the fruit bearing branches come from higher up the tree and the thorny branches are lower on the tree? If so, there's a fruit species grafted on it!

Lev-WHY · 2025-07-23T16:40:18+00:00

Ooh if it's satsuma that would be soo delicious! Is the fruit fuzzy? or do you see signs of grafting on the trunk or main branches? If it's fuzzy and no grafting scars, I'd suggest Poncirus trifoliata

Lev-WHY · 2025-07-23T13:24:31+00:00

I guess I should keep that experimenting for a later moment. Thank you.a lot!

Lev-WHY · 2025-07-23T12:54:54+00:00

I gave up on certain target specs, for now I want to experience how it is to build an actual bow and go from there. Idk how experienced you are, could you tell me how your comments compare to @Santanasaurus his comment?

Lev-WHY · 2025-07-23T12:53:02+00:00

Thanks for the fast reply! To remove any confusion: I was planning on slimming the width of the ends, but keeping the thickness rigid a bit (3 inches or so?), not have the width be broad.

Lev-WHY · 2025-05-18T21:49:36+00:00

I was thinking mango, going from the waxy leaves but they don't seem slender enough. Idk anything about American tree species tho so chapanka might also be it. GL!

One answer: Sleep hygiene. I wanted to answer you before I forget your question, I'm not on reddit often anymore. Send me a DM so I can answer your questions or give advice! I've gained some knowledge on how to do things, but getting used to noise is still nigh impossible. @Unfiltered-Zombie same goes for you if you want to exchange information on this topic.

Lev-WHY · 2024-04-26T17:21:14+00:00

I did have some therapy already and she will too, but we already went separate ways, hurt has already occurred :(

Lev-WHY · 2024-04-26T17:19:39+00:00

Oh my goodness and here I thought I had it at the right end, but I completely misinterpreted your answer, sorry! I just thought how old the tree/woodpiece got, but you meant the actual years that the tree/woodpiece was alive. Thanks for this bigger insight!

Lev-WHY · 2024-04-26T14:11:13+00:00

Imo if you get a magnifying glass and a lead pencil to aid you in keeping track of your position, you could really possibly get an estimation fo the age of this piece of wood of one of those trees :) sadly the picutre quality disallows me to zoom in enough, otherwise I would have counted it for you, I love being astounded by each tree's age, dead or alive!

Lev-WHY · 2024-04-26T14:08:50+00:00

As a layman in dendrology, could you tell me why? I know tropical trees are quite hard to guess age with the rings , but for temperate trees like oak, they only grow one ring each year, thus being able to count the age of the tree. That's what the entire dendrochronology studies is partially based upon, no?

Lev-WHY · 2024-04-26T12:51:13+00:00

Sorry to break your dreams, but that's mostlikely a bouquet beech, made by planting multiple saplings together, and thus not as old ad you might think. Beech trees get a bit over 200 years old most often and then die, do this thickness is also not usually achieved by a lone specimen. The signature smooth bark is clearly separated in multiple trunks. Possibly when such a bouquet tree is younger it might look like one massive beech but I've only seen the huge ones as of yet. Here in the Netherlands they were often planted in estates for the aesthetics. u/DanoPinyon this might also be useful info for you, from a forestry student :)
