Mostly osage :)
I do have a small locust log to split up that I cut last year. I also have some hickory staves and one yew stave that I got a couple years ago.

My name is Keenan, I first became aware of my addiction when Dell on PA called us out to list our hidden stash. At first I was unaware that I had a problem then later that night I remembered the pile of staves in the cellar. Then the pile in the loft in the barn, then the pile in the carport, then the pile behind the shop.  I wanted to go back and add to the former list but since I had already modified it several times I decided it might reveal that I'm not sure just how much I have hidden away. >:D >:D Now the words of my wonderfull wife echo in my mind. "Just how many piles of stupid sticks do you need?"

Hi, my name is Greg.

My stash?

A great big pile of various stuff in the garage which has been picked over for a few years now. I really don't know what all is in there and afraid to move too much stuff around for fear of good snake bite. But even today, there is still that one stave that always looks better by closing time.

Black Palm?  WOW!  I wanna get my hands on some of that!  I have a black palm bow from Papua/New Guinea along with some 'boo arrows, and the handmade wooden crate that was shipped from the G.I. stationed over there. 

I would love to make a copy of that bow to get an idea how stiff it is.

I wore out two trucks and a string of pack mules in the Black Hills looking for it.  I figured any palm here would have to be a Black one becuase of the name of the hills. 

Go back to your rocking chair and lap robe before your Geritol wears off!   >:D

A what-kind-of-robe?
Just keep your eye peeled to the west.
My wife actually can't figure out how many of these staves I could possibly shoot.  I try not to put them all in one spot, so it only looks like a have one or two---here, and another 1 or two there, and one or two under here.
The credit card account rats me out.
