I read that in "Bows and Arrows of the Native Americans" by Jim Hamm. That was where I got the idea it should be cut in winter. I found a place where you can read most of that book online. Looks like a good book, I'm probably going to order it.

But the only exception I have heard is don't cut osage in the spring or summer. ONly in winter? Ever heard that?

True. I never cut any wood later than early summer. Spring is the best time to do it.
