Unbelievable Osage Log

<< < (9/9)

fishfinder401:
i agree with tommanyknots and gstondeberg, unless the person want to make a warbow, it would be bestto cut around 6ft, also, it would be best to let it dry a little, as whoever gets it will have to wait for it to season before use, so no use paying for extra shipping beczsue of the weight of it being green. that being said, i would be trying to make a warbow from a piece if i traded for one, but you coul still cut down to around 84in.
by the way, i jsut wanted to thank you for keeping this wood to trade on here, i ahve seen too many nice straight logs cut up
thanks

I agree with gstoneberg. I shipped some osage awhile back in a trade and the shipping went from $54 to $99 because I was 109 inches instead of 107! A lot of the oldtimers prefer sister billets over full length staves anyways.

Thanks to everyone for advice and input.  I'm sure these staves are worth the effort.  See pictures below.  If you need better pictures with more detail, I can post all such requests on my website.  Let me know what you need. 
I live in Waco, Texas, so unless you can drive by to pick one up, I'll probably need to remove the sapwood.  Unless I hear otherwise, I'll probably begin stripping the sapwood in a couple of days.

what do you want for the one the square is on in the first pic. On page 2 I'll take it.!!!!!!!!

I would like an osage bow in trade.  That's one big heavy stave to ship to 'Bama.  I can get better photos tomorrow of that particular chunk 'o wood.
