Nothing ugly there

Stickbender. I knew what you were saying about the ugly part of the tree. You sure found the swan in that ugly duckling tree though. Those look like some real fine staves.

Well if the truth be known the first time I hunted down a osage tree I was so excited to find one I could cut so I cut the hole tree after hours of back hurting labor I ended up with 4 usable so,so staves and a lot of fire wood for my very happy coworkers , every sense then I have learned to  meticulously study the bark before cutting...lol

It pays for sure to look at it good and hard.Most times anything showing on the bark will be dramatized or enhanced in the wood below.
