my $15 osage board
« on: January 03, 2015, 08:14:12 pm »
my buddy at the hardwoods store found some osage that had been sawn up about 12 years ago and I was able to get this pc for $15 out the door :D, I can still get 5-6 slats from it for backed bows or I may leave one wide enough to chase a ring and make a selfbow as i'm way ahead anyway, I guess everyone can get lucky now and then and i'm a smiling
