It wasn't really lost, just misplaced for a while  ;)

It was hard on this fat man to get that much across!  I was actually kinda relieved when I poked a hole in my boat.  Ya, floating them isn't really an option, but if we don't get some rain soon the old republican is gonna get low enough that I can drag em out with my horse.  The channels are only about 25 yds across now but still over my head.  By the time I get all these down to staves, the river will probably only be 3 or 4 feet deep.  If it doesn't rain, it'll only be knee deep by September.  I'll probably try again then.  Josh

Man oh man that is a nice haul of wood.Your earning them that's for sure.Lots of belly splits I'd say with all of the checking going on.The story of these is far from over.No sense in letting them go to waste though.Why is it the nicer logs get into them situations.

Ed-those small checks don't go to far(I hope!) That end cut is the exposed end of the log.  I cut a  2 inch slab off to expose the rings better.  The other end of those quarters don't have those small checks.
Bryce- if you come down to KS, you better bring a one ton dually to haul home the Osage I'd send home with you!

I got pretty lucky with this stuff.  There were ant colonies in the logs, so no borer damage at all.  If it hadn't been for them, I doubt there would have been anything salvageable.  Josh

I cut a live osage once that already an ant colony living in a split at the base of it. You even have bow from that tree. ;)
