I dumped about 6 good staves worth of osage today back by the woods I got em from. I won't ship em or even go get em, but if anyone lives near hamilton ohio, ill show you where they are. They got alot of powder post beedles in the sapwood. The heartwood looks "ok" for the most part, but I ain't gonna mess with it after hearing how bad these bugs can be. I just don't wanna go trash something someone might want. Cut em in the summer, left em in the woods.

JW_Halverson:
Nice of them bugs to work so hard to get rid of the sapwood for you.  And you don't give 'em any respect. 

I wish I lived a lot closer because I'd come and rip the bark/sapwood off and split the pile with you. 

toomanyknots:
Man, I wish someone (would of) taken em. I just can't do the insecticide, and the bugs are pretty bad,... I woke up this morning to find a bunch of new holes all over the fresh clean side of the split I did the night before. Went and cleaned everything up and dumped em right back in the woods like an hour later.

bareshaft12:
I wish I lived around there to,I would go get them.

shawnee:
In the summer, the bark and sapwood come off very easily if you do it before they dry much.  Once you get the bark and sapwood off, the borers don't bother it much at all.  You will need to seal the back and end tho to keep it from splitting and checking.
