Wanting a skinning/caping neck knife

<< < (3/3)

I sprayed this stave  when it came into my possession in March.  It was cut in Feb. 2012.  I bug bomb my workshop the first week of spring, summer, winter and fall.  So, it's had 2 bombings.  To save some shipping cost and to make sure there is not borer issues, I will peel the bark, sapwood off of it.

You can probable get 2 bows from this stave, maybe 3.  My friend had it in log form and we split it before I brought it home.  It split down ever line that I wanted it to do. 

Here is a bow I made from it's sister stave. It was a smaller stave than this one and I got a belly split from it that will be a freckle over an inch wide.  Hey, it's osage, it make a bow.  The sister stave made a bow with only 2 growth rings.
