    Dogtrot cabin

    I am guessing that tin was not an easy option in the 1830s. Is there any evidence of what wood it was first shingled in? I have a small well shed that has tin layed over what appears to be cypress shingles.

    Sir perhaps you can not straighten a small leaf spring w/o heat. I have not set such limitations on myself. I have been gone since the morning of the 15th over the next couple of evenings i will figure out how to post pictures. So that you may see what someone who does not limit themselves can...

    New mallet

    Yes sir i have honey locust and some naturalized black and yellow and the hornbeam. I will more than likely use the dogwood. Cant split the handle out but i can whittle it down with a hatchet and hand aze. and it acts very polite once i get it on the drawing horse.

    Yes sir i agree a sharp edge cuts and that aint what it is about. I would like to keep the temper to keep from twisting the froe. Or if it does twist a little will come back when pressure is released. I was posting another question about mallets about the same time you were answering this...

    New mallet

    I will need a smaller mallet for my smaller froe. I use dogwood a lot for spoons. Because it has a interlocking grain and is tough. Do you think a dogwood root ball would be toughenuff to use on steel, of should i use something harder like sourwood or persimmon.

    Last year i did a bad thing
