It's pretty rare to find Osage in my area. Several months back I went for a walk in an area that I use to bow hunt, because I thought I remembered seeing Osage along the edge of the timber. Sure enough, I found them! I finally talked to the landowner today and he gave me permission to cut the dead stuff, plus a few other pieces.
Here is part of what I brought back today, and I have another load yet to go. I wasn't sure if the dead stuff would be good yet or not, but after spitting some of the pieces today. I think I will have bow wood for a long time. Now I can get to work on the bows for my grandchildren. Plus keep me supplied for years to come.

Nice haul!
Dan
great find and that should keep you out of trouble for a bit.
I'll be going back tomorrow to get the rest that is still on the ground, I have a load the size of what I already brought home today. I have plenty of splitting yet to do!
Nice haul.
Looks like a good haul!
Sweet, wish there was some in the west!!
good deal!!!!
dont forget to seal and spray with insecticide( just from what i read on here!!!)
Thats a good load of osage for sure. I've been busy stock piling some as well.
Will it grow there, coaster? I can send some seeds!
I take for granted that I have a large supply of the stuff. I went to get a log last weekend and my go to guy didn't have any more of the stuff. Nice haul. Don't forget to spray it for bugs.
Nice rings!
