Read More »In a series of blogs on men’s weaponry on the plains, I will discuss several different weapons, beginning with perhaps the most well-known: the bow and arrow. For the Nakoda, like most Plains Nations, the bow, idazipa, and the arrow, wohiŋkpe, are indispensable weapons. Their origins are sacred, as the use of them was handed down from Iŋkdomi (our name for the Trickster, who was also involved in earth’s re-creation). The bow and arrows both fed and protected the people. Because of their importance, young men learned from the time that they could stand how to handle them, and were also taught how to construct them from their older male relatives. Plains bows are commonly made of ĉaŋsuda (ash), ĉaŋpá (chokecherry), or watʾéyaga (juniper) in the north, and osage orange in the south. Arrows are constructed from ĉaŋŝaŝa (red osier dogwood), or sometimes made of wiŋbazogaŋ (juneberry) or ĉaŋpá (chokecherry). Early immigrant-travelers on the plains, such as Alexandre Henry, noted that even after the introduction of firearms, men never went anywhere without a bow and arrows. Many chroniclers left accounts of just how proficient the people were with them. George Catlin, for example, spoke of men at the Missouri River villages playing an “arrow game,” where they competed for speed, shooting as many arrows into the air as they could before the first one hit the ground. He noted that men could often let fly eight arrows before the first one reached the ground![1]

It once had a reputation as difficult to finish since it developed “fuzzy” edges during sanding, but with today's advanced machinery, manufacturers have been able to overcome that obstacle in most instances.
Basswood is one of those hardwood species that does not get mentioned much. Most of the time it does not even show up as a line item in industry reports because it is lumped in the “other” category for reporting purposes. Many experts estimate basswood represents only about 5-8% of the total volume of timber in lumber production today. But maybe that should change. Basswood, Tilia Americana, is a light, soft wood which is easily worked and very stable. It once had a reputation as difficult to finish since it developed “fuzzy” edges during sanding, but with today’s advanced machinery, manufacturers have been able to overcome that obstacle in most instances. Generally speaking, basswood is one of those species where the difference in the heartwood and sapwood is not great. Some refer to the distinction or boundary of the two as not being strong. This results in basswood being very uniformed in color which is typically described as ranging from creamy white to a very pale brown. Our customers that request basswood are usually looking to use it in either a moulding application or for shutters and blinds. However, basswood is also used in things like musical instruments, boxes & crates, woodenware, novelties, and is also an excellent choice for wood carvings! We find it is an excellent substitute for white poplar and even aspen. We usually offer basswood in rough random width and length bundles, but it can also be surfaced, (S2S), upon request. If you are considering trying basswood, or are looking for a new supply source, please let us know. We would be glad to help!
