LOL Snag, I was more than happy...just REAL tuckered out from two days of hauling wood (and I was a bit nervous about the weight of the load on this muddy field access road, I had gotten my other ride stuck there the day before  ::))

Heck, I'm still grinning from ear to ear when I open the garage door to peak and make sure it's all still there...

Thanks~

It is amazing how paths of our past cross one another... When they cross the first time you think it will be for a life time.. Until you cross for the second time then you know it will be for a life time...

Thanks Cracker, I would guess that 90% of the Osage I've stumbled on and located here looks just like that "twisted rope" you described...I got lucky in that some of these Hedge rows are long enough that I am able to find or select 1 good tree out of 15-20.  If I were to start doing "spliced billet" bows I bet I could be up to my ears in usable Osage  ;D but I am still enjoying the idea and process of a single one piece selfbow.
