Anytime Bruce. It is still a little moist. Stuff is heavy too but could be a little water weight. Think it would work perfect for darters,needles and such. Problem with apple is after many years of pruning you get many off shoots, branches, each year and it is hard to find non knotted areas but the knots seem to be very tight grained so i don't think they will cause a problem, although we will have to see after it dries a bit.Thru drilling could be a challenge. Capesams told me to rough turn them even though they are still wet. He says they will dry up nice. He would know. I have no experience with drying wood. Be fun though going from tree to plug.
