Good Days Haul of Osage

[Roy from Pa]

But my back hurts..  That stuff is heavy.

[Dan Landis]

Roy, Quite the haul, is this from your area of PA?

[Roy from Pa]

About 40 miles NW of my place.

[scrub-buster]

That should heat your workshop for most of the winter Roy.

[Bvas]

That'll make some nice risers for them glass bows you been buildin.

[Mad Max]

Nice Roy

[Mad Max]

Show us how you make your first cut's from log to lams?

[Roy from Pa]

I'll split them with wedges.

[Dan Landis]

I'd say it was worth the drive!!!

Hey, wait a minute. 40 miles northwest of YOUR place puts it closer to MY place.

Never wore a hardhat when cutting osage, but there were times I wished I woulda      

Congrats on the yellarwood, bud.

Hey, don't cut it all into lumber this time. At least make ONE selfbow for cryin' out loud. I see a couple of prime specimens. It would be a crime if you just sawed them up for BBO's.

[Roy from Pa]

BBO's rock....  

[Eric Krewson]

Looks like you got the good, bad and the ugly, I don't like to waste a piece if possible either.

[Roy from Pa]

Yupper Eric. Ya always need pieces for riser blocks is the way I look at it.

[Pat B]

Nice haul, Roy. Nothing like fresh cut osage, good, bad or ugly.    

[mwosborn]

Puts me in the mood to go cut some myself.  Nice haul Roy.

[Krasus]

Oh man I'm so jealous. I can't get Osage up here at my hardwood store of choice.

[Roy from Pa]

And what kind of bow would you build if you had Osage?

[monterey]

Gwass, of course!

[Roy from Pa]

Mitch go cut some. What I hate most is the 2 years ya gotta let it dry and season a bit. And 5 year old Osage is super stuff..    But I hain't got much of that left.. But I do have a couple pieces of 10 year old Osage.
