Making some 2x2 oak shafts for polearms. Laminating the 1x2. Could not find any 2x2 hardwood anywhere, just the cheap pine, which is warped, and is a soft wood for shafts. Two glued, third one to do tonight - then sanding and shaping. Bringing them down to about 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" overall.
Sir James A:
Oh, and the oak trim is $1/lf. So a pair of 6 foot pieces to make a 6 foot polearm haft is only $12. One thing of glue is under $5 and was enough to do all 3 pairs. Three 6' long oak polearm hafts for $40. Pretty awesome!
Sir Wolf:
we used to buy white ash by the board and cut it down. but thats a cool idea

Where did you find it? I couldn't find ash or oak in 2x sizes at Home Depot or Lowes, only 1x
Sir William:
Why can you not use the same poles you were telling me about for spears from Lowe's?
