Thanks bigcountry. I have been looking around some and found some info on cutting and curing the wood and such. Looks like it is cut it this winter, and then build a bow here in a few years. But I guess the way I look at it, might as well cut it and store it, even if I don't use it someone else will I guess. I imagine I will have a few kids bows to build along the way, my daughter is 8 months old today. Too late for my boys, or maybe not, they are 12 and 16. 16 year old isn't into bows though, he is a strict rifle shooter.

I'm sure I can find a good Black locust to cut, no problem. I did some research, and osage orage is what I call a bodark apple tree. We have lots of them around here, but the problem is going to be finding one that is good and straight. Most of those have been cut for fenceposts, they are at a premium for that. In fact, I cut one down last night clearing out a shooting lane on my food plot, but it was young and twisted. It may take a few months of looking but I bet I can find a good one.
