Nice Job!They both look like keepers to me!
Well done!!!
Very nice!
What part of PA are you from and where did you get the osage? Osage is pretty hard to find where I'm at in PA.
I understand there are Osage trees in MT PLEASANT, PA. Floks call them "monkey ball trees". I just got an Osage from my neighbor too. We are in Bedford county PA.
Hi I live in Ivyland pa. Bucks Co. I picked up this pc. of osage at Dixon's gunmakers fair. Theres a gun stock dealer that some times brings a couple of pcs. with him. It was a nice of 1/4 sawn. Paid $55.00 for it and got 3 bows out of it. There is some that grows locally but havn't been able to get permission to cut any. Scott
Hello Scott, Nice looking bows. I live In Quakertown in upper Bucks co. if you are looking for more osage let me know I might be able to help you out. Thanks, Jimmy
Nice bows,
I'm a PA transplant, living in Idaho, I remember the osage also being called Horse apple trees in Huntingdon.
