I'm near Dallas several times a month. I wouldn't mind meeting up and asking questions.

(Ok, I'm a little partial) You should have several Tex folks in your area that might be able to offer some time if you were willing to drive over! Either way, you're in the right place. Just get some wood chucked up and start to whittling, then post lotsa pics and ask questions. It's a safe bet your first won't be your last.

I've read and heard from several sources that osage isn't the best wood to start with.
Why do you say it is?
Coincidentally I am just getting started and that's all that I have right now is osage but was thinking about getting a hickory stave to work first.
Pat B:
If you have lots of osage then use it for your first. The only reason I can think of why it should not be used by beginners is because most would have to buy an osage stave and that could be expensive. By the time you learn on sage any other wood would be a piece of cake to work. ;D
Gus is from Houston.
