Hey Mike , Thats really cool to see the birthplace of 3 of the Osage Bows we have from you!!  How about some picts with you and your Dad in them.   Shot the Holy Charactor Osage I got for Chritmas all day today.  What fun!   Puttin the Tru-oil on the new one we finsihed at TBOF. Dan havin fun shootin his too.   Wish we lived closer to ya, we'd come over and help you cut and split.  Both of us really enjoyed your help and the new bows we got from you at TBOF shoot.    Ken

Nice haul Mike, When cutting and splitting Osage it really don't matter how cold it is,you will
warm up. ;) ;D ;D I still hold up pretty good cutting Osage and Hickory but not like 10 or 15
years ago.I'm 57 and it's nice  to have some young wipper snappers around when we do it. :)
I am also like you,I don't cut just any Osage or Hickory or any other tree for that matter,I spend more time looking than I do cutting. :)
