You split any of that osage yet Kent? If we have to we can make a mad dash to Okieland this summer and cut some more!
Ive got a trailer, ill be more than happy to clean out some of your boadark.


I split the ones you brought to the cabin, and sealed them as soon as I got home. They look real good. The others you brought the first time were seasoned already. I figured the moister and they were ready to go.Ive split and started debarking one to see if I can work around the ant holes. Ive got two bows going right now, (Brazilian walnut and bamboo and Brazilian walnut, white oak and snake skin) but once i get them done, I am going to see if i can get a self bow out of one of the logs you brought the first time. If not, i can cut them into slats or make a few lams. At the very minimum, Ill be able to get some wood for risers, grips, or tips. I will never trun down Osage. I love Osage, it is by far one of my favorite woods to work with. It can be a pain, but it makes up for it by making such good bows.

By the way, you need to forget that three D shoot and come ruin some brain cells next weekend.
