Nice haul Chris!

Dang Chris, that story makes cutting osage on my farm seem like a walk in the park.  It seems like you were able to get the trees to hit the ground those.  Unlike our outing where getting the trees to the ground was the difficult part.  Well, splitting them would have be a chore with human splitting machine, Daniel.

Now go cut some hickory.  I ended up taking all that thin ringed osage Brian brought to the Classic back home with me. I'm thinking I might decrown some of it to back with hickory and bamboo.

Blackhawk.  Is there any way you can bottle some of that energy you store and send it my way?  Great haul and I am sure there will be some great bows come from that wood.

Nice..  Next time you are down this way, I can put you on some tall straight osage that we can get the truck within 50 yards of....  Although I've put several staves of various species away to season, I'm thinking ..... why? Osage is fun stuff and takes some punishment...

Good haul Chris, but its probably just another day in your life ;) My main problem when harvesting staves is not bringing enough water!

Nice haul sounds like an adventure for sure seems like its more fun when things don't go as planned. Sounds like you could have used an extra hand for sure.
