BC,
Looks good. Can you post a few more pic's of your "workbench," I'm interesting in starting to make a few "Self-bows" myself. I have an elm and hickory log in my barn ready to be worked.

How long did you have to let that osage stave need to drydry??? I have access to a LOAD of osage and was thinking about harvesting a tree and cutting some staves to try. How long do they need to dry for??

Thanks for any info!!!
