Why I think osage is an inferior bow wood...

[Keenan]

Where did ya find the straight ones,,,,,,,,,mine all look like the third from the left

[osage outlaw]

That yew stuff looks kind of wimpy 

[blackhawk]

Hmmmm? Seems to be some jealous folks out there

@Adb...I've already parted with 25% of it,and a couple more are on hold for someone,so I've got to decline to keep some for myself,cus ill never see this again in my life time.

I get to look at that wood all the time when I am at Blackhawk's place . Do you think he would give me one of those ? NO. LOL.
But hey Christmas is coming. you never know .

If I had his address, I'd sneak over there and get some after dark.

I don't think I'd do that!  It's like to lead to one of his fast Molly girls plantin' a few feathers in places you don't want 'em to grow!!!

Nah, I've seen him shoot....

[blackhawk]

Lmao guys .....I don t even know why you guys wood want any of this stuff anyways cus osage is better

[Sidewinder]

  Thats a nice batch of bow wood no matter what the species. I think you are sticken with the same disease I am. "Hi my name is Danny and I'm a bow wood aholic"
 I'm about due to harvest some hackberry here pretty soon. I've got a nice 12" dia pipe straight one spotted that'll yield probably 15 or so nice staves. I'm still trying to convince myself I can work with something other osage...lol.
  I have one yew stave I traded for about a year ago that has been calling me to release it from its cucoon. Maybe I will get to see up close and personal what all the hoopla about yew is. Is it true I need to wear a mask when working with it to keep from getting poisoned?   Danny

Not really, but it does affect some folks, so be prepared.

We just require blackhawk to wear a mask cause he's so ugly..

Looks like yew just made the naughty list,and yew will not be receiving a present from me. 

Id wait to cut that hackberry till spring when the bark peels off like butter Danny. Yew dust won't poison you,but it makes some folks woozy ...it don't bother me none and I love snorting the $%#@ ..just don't eat the seeds in the berries...that'll poison ya.

[Roy]

No problem tuff guy.. I had a barn full of Osage I wuz gonna share wit ya, but not no mo:)

[Sidewinder]

 I'll take your advise on that then Blackhawk. Its not that it will be going anywhere.
 
 I spotted a couple osage trees yesterday when we were shooting the stuffed animal course we have set up. Don't know how I missed them before. I found two that are about 6" in diameter that look like they will have a bit of snakeiness to em but are otherwise pretty straight. Guess I'll have to satisfy myself with that for now.  Danny

[Bryce]

thanks again for those locations bryce  ....that didnt take me long to find and get ....talk about easy pickins

Hahaha no problem man. Ill let you know where the real bow wood is anytime

Ha! Blackhawk try smoking the needles.  That will put a kick in your kinnikinnik!

That stuff really does cause reactions in some people.  My brother broke out in blisters on his hands after the first time he rasped on a yew stave.  But he also gets poison oak just from looking at.
