I have some :)

Most sawmills will have it.

By the way... while I love osage above others. I also like a yew core with osage on the belly, or just bamboo and yew... single core or tri-lam... what a lovely, lively combo. I also really like cherry, and have some walnut, sassafras, red cedar, locust, maple and others that I want to play with.... oh yeah, don't forget about bamboo... boo back, boo core, osage belly. Use your imagination.

Maple, elm, walnut, cherry. Anything that's less dense than the belly wood

Jeff...ya shouldn't have given Roy that red cedar lam n other lams...that's like handing out free crack to a crack head,and now he's gonna be either pounding on your door for more and breaking thru the door and stealing it... :biglaugh:

And Roy...he already did give ya some...I saw it firsthand ;)
