Dang Clint, all that good karma from helping out so many people with your staves in the past is coming full circle.  Glad you saved this stash from becoming a smoldering heap!  Looks like some good stuff.

Yep!  I agree.  That's some special bow wood.

Sweet...I'd exclusively work that stuff and let all your other stuff sit n season even more ;)


That's the plan BH  ;)  I'll get the rest of it split this weekend.  I can't wait to put the draw knife to one of these staves and see what is inside. 
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Meant to be Clint. I'm sure it would please the man that gathered it to see someone put it to good use instead of in the burn pile. Do you think the moisture content is low enough yet? >:D

Then enjoy it while it lasts....I've fallen into getting a good load of 90's cut wood a couple times and it went away really fast  :laugh:

I think it is Tracy.  Every time I would hit the wedge with the hammer a cloud of barn dust would fly in the air.  I'm not sure how they were stored but I know they stayed dry.

Great story behind the bows that will come from this stash.

Cool story! Sweet haul. So when does one have "enough" osage?

Very cool Clint. Please put a paragraph at the bottom of your will that all your bow wood and stuff goes to me.  ;)  I'll hire a Josh to haul it to my house.   ;D
