one thing you might try is ask around about folks selling hedge fence posts.
today on the side of the road I bought a 10' osage 8" dia. , NICE piece a wood! for $12 and just split five 6' staves from it.
woods gotta be happier as bows instead of ol' H braces studded with fence staples :)

If you can't trade for one here (best option) then also check out osagejack here on PA. Mike cuts Osage for a living.

Thanks guys! I'm sorry Pappy.  What's "PM"?  I didn't mean to do something I wasn't suppose to.  Hope to make it to your place one year.  Had a friend go this year and he said it was amazing.
