Thanks guys.  I'm turning an empty bedroom into a place I can relax and enjoy seeing my bow stuff displayed.

OK, I googled possum knocker.  I got a biscuit that's too heavy (only good use is for killing possums, I guess) and a door knocker shaped like a possum.  I'm guessing you meant something else.  Care to enlighten an ignorant northerner?   ;D

That was an inside joke with Mullet.

Anything like the "snake discourager" I carry out in the desert?

Clint, is there anything you aren't good at doing? Seriously.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Reaching stuff on the top shelf JW.  I've never been good at that.

I'd say so too.It's a really beautiful type wood.
I've seen some counters under cabinets made by the Amish here and loooong dinner tables.Once set they don't care to move them again much.I'd think it could be used as flooring also.When they have a sawmill mill anything is possible.
You must have a saw mill by you too?

I took 2 trailer loads of osage logs to a sawmill about 15 minutes away.  Former amish guy.  He was very cheap.  I paid him more than he asked.  I want to take some more to him when I get the extra money.  I have a spalted black cherry tree that I want to have cut too. 

I was riding the trolley between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge Tennessee a few years back when I noticed all of the benches were made from osage boards.  I told my wife when that trolly was rusting away in a scrap yard one day the benches will still be as solid as the day they were built.

I don't doubt that a bit.I had an old timer tell me in the cafe once say he used osage posts for structure for fish in his pond.I asked him how long did he expect those to last.He said oh at least 50 years and then they'll turn into iron....Ha Ha.
