Osage Sapwood

George Tsoukalas:
There's no reason to leave it on unless you have to on a small stave with not enough heartwood. I've had to leave it on some staves too. The closer you get to the heartwood the stronger the sapwood will be. Jawge

Pat B:
  I've made a few with sapwood left on. I'm working on one right now.  Years ago I made a small all sapwood flat bow and gave it to Lil Pat. That's how we met. I believe he still has that bow.
   Sorry Trapper. No fight tonight! ;D     Pat

Trapper:
Ok goodnight everybody. Trap

Pat B:
Sweet Dreams! ::)    Pat

Justin Snyder:
OK Ill bite trapper.  I cant use sapwood on osage because all of the osage staves I have were taken down to the heartwood by the great guys that sent them to me.  Do you need a better reason.   ;D ;D Justin
