Lol I was wondering when some one was gonna catch that!
Selfbowman:
Osage still is the King until Its not. 4th heat session. Getting there.
Bob Barnes:
Hang in there Arvin...but I have an abundance of hickory here on the farm, but no osage...so I'm kinda hoping that we figure out a way to make it (at least) almost as good... :OK
Pappy:
I also have lots of hickory on my place and no Osage, in my early years I use to trade 2 or 3 to 1 for Osage, I have several kinds of Hickory but pig nut seems to be the best for me. :)Looking good Arvin. :)

Same here pappy. I’ve got lots of hickory and no Osage. The hickory I have most access to is shagbark variant. I find it to be little denser then the pignut up here. It also has a heartwood that is quite hard too. One day I’ll make a heartwood shagbark bow backed with boo. Should be good I suspect.
