This may get yanked, not sure of rules for posting about other sites.  But, I'll try anyways.  
Here are some osage fenceposts

I hope you guys get some good posts.  The fact that they don't actually have pictures of the posts makes me wonder what they actually are and what shape they are in.

It sounds like the same guy I contacted a few months ago. If it is, his osage isn't what I'd deem bow quality. He sent me more pictures via email. They were small diameter limbs, VERY crooked, and VERY weathered. Many of the checks looked to go practically the whole way through. I informed him as to our needs, of which he seemed unaware.

Maybe it's not the same guy, just make sure you get plenty of pics before you decide whether or not to drive over there.
