2014 Grafting Adventures of CrazyED

[CrazyEd]

Looking good Paul! I just got shipping notice from Cummin's yesterday. My 100 B.118 and 10 OHxF97 roots are on their way! I can't wait to get started, i'm going to get the Lansky sharpener out tonight and sharpen up my knife.

Matt

You got me interested in that sharpener not sure I need it as I already have 2 nice slices in my fingers

 

[CrazyEd]

I think i read about that sharpener from Stu who heard about it from ben hooper. I will say it works awesome.

 

[aerospacefarmer]

Damn.....getting my credit card out now lol

 

[Bowsnbucks]

I've had a Lansky for years. You can get your knives shaving sharp with it.

 

[aerospacefarmer]

Bought it. Thanks for the info

 

[CrazyEd]

Well,

I did 50 grafts last night and had so much fun I went online at Cummins and cleaned them out if the remaining B118 rootstock and some M111. They'll be at my door tomorrow for more grafting tomorrow night.

How long did that take you? Sounds way faster than my pace well done!

The remaining? Sheesh when I orderd over a month ago they told me I bought the last 9 B118s they had.

My Cummins order is on the way. 25 B118's and 10 pear rootstocks. Ordered back in January I think. Will be grafting some rootstocks from GRIN, and scions I collected from a wild pear, a wild crabapple a wild apple that I have admired for years for being loaded with fruit late into the fall. Gonna try to use cut resistant gloves this year because I cut myself pretty good last year making the tongue cut. ROOKIE, I guess.

Man, they must've had extras laying around! I tried emailing after I heard buck had ordered the last of them and he confirmed they were out :rolleyes:

NH nice work. It does get addicting I have 46 done and 14 more to go and wondering if I will get more I am using dwarf rootstock so I am pretty sure they still have G41 which I am trying this year
