I would get the wood out of the weather as quickly as possible. I left a pile of nice, spit osage behind my shop, out in the sun for 6 months. When I finally got around to checking on it, my beautiful straight staves had turned into a twisted pile of unusable bug riddled snakes. Lesson learned, I have never left another piece of wood out in the weather.

I must be one of the lucky ones, my wife encourages me to get wood. God, I love that gal.

You can't have too much bow wood. It's something we collect as part of our national heritage and then when the time comes pass on to a new generation of bow makers!

Hey George if you come thru Buckeye land (Ohio) I will trade you about any kinda wood you want for yellow wood !
I have been trying for three years to get enough out of my shop SO I don't have to work outside !
I just traded my zebrawood stash for yellow wood ,and Chery for bamboo, but there is still allot of other kinds that need to go ! Hickory is easy to come by here But yellow is about all gone!

About 1/3 of my Yew and 1/2 the Osage. I also have a few dozen mixed staves, Russian Olive, Hickory, Black Locust, Red Elm, Vine Maple and some Ash. You can never have too much wood.
