Look what I cut today

[scrub-buster]

Flip flops and one hand chainsaw cutting.  Yikes!

Doesn't look like you first cut a wedge, might help the splitting of that one side when tree drops

Got them sprayed today. I found a bad spot on the 1st log where theheart wood was exposed and the wood wasps got to it. I think the rest of the log should be good though.

:(  logs still out there. Creek is flooded again.

That's a ton of bows for sure !!

Sweet!!!

I would say float'em out, but osage is too heavy for that!

[razorsharptokill]

The Osage has landed! I have all three logs at my house. One split into 6 staves. By myself!

Sadly there is one spot on each log where the sap wood was exposed in the past and the wood bees got to it.

I think this tree was on its way out so I'm glad I cut it. At least I can salvage the rest

[dmikeyj]

Good news, and nice save!

[razorsharptokill]

Well... there are some issues with these logs. Each one has the wood bee damage and they all have some rot. Some of the best rings are un usable. I'll salvage what I can. I have three staves roughed to outside bow dimensionsso they will dry faster.

[razorsharptokill]

Here is one of the better staves.

Other end.

I'm so jealous I live in southern california and we have crap for good trees

[stringstretcher]

If you can not get full length staves, can you cut and get good billet wood out of some of the damaged trees?
