Unbelievable Osage Log
dco1958:
I haven't really thought about it...
I usually just burn this stuff, but this is too nice to burn. I have the proper tools, but certainly don't have the expertise to tackle bow making. My reason for contacting this board was soley for NOT screwing up this wood so someone can ply their craft on it. I teach CNC mill and CAD design in a high school and sometime use small blocks for special projects...but this is way beyond what I usually mess with.
What is a primitive bow worth? What is a stave like this worth? I haven't a clue. Help me out.

they are worth whatever they are worth to YOU! once you get some pics up we will get a better idea, but untill then, think of something you would like to have for one and we can see what we can do, that's the great thing about this group, we don't trade based on monetary value, but on what we think it is worth to ourselves and the person trading it
dco1958:
Let me get some pictures...
Primitive in every way! Bartering! LOL I love it! I'm kinda likin' this place...
Here's pictures of my "workshop." My "craftsmanship" extends to creating little pieces from the big ones, throwing them in a pile till they get old, and burning them while stargazing. As you can see, my one-man timber saw is antique and I've dreamed of a new one someday.... The axe on the left is how I take the trees down and the old saw is how I get the logs into pieces I can carry.
The log we're discussing took me two days to get out of the woods. I made a rope sling and dragged that big SOB to my truck. It was pure pleasure to take a splittin' wedge to it!

I dunno about the rest of you but I think dco1958 fits right in here. I like the tool shed.
dco1958:
Thanks...I built it especially to fit that timber saw....
Hey...I betcha a bow would fit in there too! LOL
Bad news...it's rainin' like hell and I can't get photos today. Crap!
Oh well...off to watch MMA instead...
