Title: my $15 osage board
Post by: bubby 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(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/Mobile%20Uploads/20150103_155404_zps3gttcepa.jpg) (http://s623.photobucket.com/user/bubncheryl/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150103_155404_zps3gttcepa.jpg.html)
