I am interested in your ERC stave. What kind of osage bow are you looking to make. I have staves both straight and snaky. Long or short. Most all of my osage is over 10 years seasoned. Thank you for replying and for your patience. Life got in the way for the last few days and I haven't been able to logon.

Hi Matt.....ill post some pics after work today so u can have a looksy. Off the top of my head it should yield a half heartwood half sapwood bow,but wood depend on what type of bow you wanna make,so it could be more for a shorter bow that was sinewed for example. What ya looking to make? Not to sure yet on what type of Osage id want. Ill have to ponder that one cus I do have a few staves of Osage but I def could use some more.
No prob in taking a few days to reply....I understand and these staves are still sitting in my mancave going nowhere.

Here's some photos of the stave. I forgot this one is actually 93" long at the moment. Ten inches can b cut off each end and I laid out and measured a nice 2 1/2" wide 72"+ long section for a bow. Plenty of wood to lay out a bow with.
The other(butt end) of the stave. You can see a marbling of sapwood sandwiched in between the heartwood. Cool stuff
