Osage color

<< < (2/5) > >>

Muskyman:
Some of the wood was darker then the normal Osage color and seemed funny when I was chasing the ring. This picture is before the polyurethane

Hamish:
Terrible wood. Send it to me and I'll get rid of it for you...Hehe. ;)

superdav95:
Mike. I might also be inclined to get two bows out of that stave.

I was thinking the same Dave, but it can be risky. If it splits good it should work.

I have had some Osage with that color that really performed well. It was more streaky than that thought and the streaks seemed to keep growing in size and color once exposed to sunlight.

I hope that’s the case for you

I have noticed that splitting those staves with thick late wood and thin early wood are trickier to split. The ones with thicker early wood usually behave pretty predictably.

The thinner the early wood the more unpredictable the split.
