A friend found an area where a lot of the osage trees had wart like burls all over the trunks, not just one or two burls but dozens on each trunk, these trees were really diseased.
He was turning bowls at the time and cut a bunch of burls for wood turning, mostly off one dead tree that almost solid burls.
He gave me his trimmings which I used for handle and nock overlays on my bows. Unfortunately, osage being osage, when the wood darkened the grain of the burl wood became much less spectacular.
