Kenny recently created a thread for a deal from 3Rivers.

Mike - That's still probably not economical for the volume you'd probably need, but might do in a pinch.

Dang I can't recall the name of the place.  There is a place in Texas that had Osage, Mesquite and a few other native hardwoods.  I think they sawed and milled them selves.  I will look around and see if I can come up with the name.

You could try sweet taking some of the guys here on the gang.   ;)  I know most of them are usually open to swaps. If I had any I would give you some but I can't get any either.

I was at Keim today. Nothing with enough character for real looks in veneers and nothing straight grained enough to use as belly wood for tri-lam bows. Would have been a really bad day if I had been really looking for Osage.

I just found this guy up in Kansas.
I was having a horrible time trying to find Osage to make axe a handle. I stumbled onto this guy. From what he tells me he has miles of this stuff. He is a small family sawmill and is priced well. I bought a rough cut board 2x10x9' for a $200.. I can get a couple of axe handles, 2 bow staves and a bunch of spare out of the piece of wood. He even sent me pictures of the piece of wood before I bought it.

His name is Kevin Curch

Thanks
