CUTTING AN OSAGE TREE?

[John Scifres]

Let me know if you need help with that one

Hey guys that is cheating.  Half the fun is trying to get a stuck tree to fall, especially in a good spot.  

The last time me and Brian O cut some osage, we fell the biggest tree of the day in ditch.  It was so heavy we had to split it in the ditch to get it out.  Then carry out the splits nearly 100 yards to the truck.  Man I was tired.

For the last several years I have only cut fallen osage trees.  I'm trying to leave the standing ones for my kids and future grandkids if they choose to take up bow making.

I am not an expert but I would not have cut some of the smaller trees unless absolutely nesessary. The bigger diameter wood is better. I'm sure you will find this out when you try to use it.

First you buy a tractor with a front end loader to help with your osage harvest.



Just kidding, I cut and hauled 99.9% of my osage the old fashion way, only had the tractor for the last tree I cut. It sure made things easier.

I have seen alot of osage trees, but evry single one is narly and twisted.

I would like to see a strait one once.
