When someone doesn't like my answer when they ask me how much I charge for a bow, I point to my bucket!

On the side it has a sign saying, "$5 laminated bow kit.  Some assembly required.  Glue not included."

I then softly say,  "you get what you pay for".  After all, the difference between feed oats and fed oats is just one little "e" and a whole lotta money.

The high for today in cincinnati (round bouts where I live) is 104! That is HOT for cincinnati. My wife has to drive 25 miles home from school in cincinnati today , around 4 in the afternoon, in a van with a drivers side window that does not roll down and no air conditioning. That is flat out scary.

Don't know about Osage for cookin with but I save all of my good woods (hazel, plum, dogwood, maple, and of course hickory etc) cutoffs and shavings for the smoker BBQ. That rules out yew, Scotchbroom and any cedars also (and anything that doesn't smell good when I toast the belly). Russian olive smells bad too so I wouldn't use it for cookin either.

I betcha hackberry would be awesome. I would probably rule out osage too from the toxic sapwood, and probably black locust if I were you, although I absolutely love the smell of burning osage, toxic or not. Mulberry has toxic sap too, in fact it is supposedly hallucinogenic, so I would rule out mulberry too. I probably wouldn't eat nothin smoked osage or mulberry. Admittedly I have cooked over an osage fire, and it was the best "grilled" cheese samwich I have ever eaten.
