Osage color

bjrogg:
If they are going through your stave from back to belly and running length ways. They will probably be fine.

Reduce your stave. If you still have them soak them really good with thin super glue. Let it run in from every direction and then let it sit a day.

Then it should be fine.

If they are running between rings from side to side of the stave. Delaminating. Then I would be more concerned.

Wind shakes, it is rare osage tree I cut that doesn't have them, I just work around them.

This is a bad example of what I cut, I get good staves or billets on either side of the cracks.

Muskyman:
Thanks Eric, that’s similar to what the piece looks like that I got this from. It had a side that had lots of brown wood on it. Starting to feel better about it with all the knowledge about the wood coming my way from this site.. It’s what makes it such a great site. Can’t find answers for questions like this in a book or online..
Thanks
