Osage harvest

Muskyman:
Nice little haul. I remember when you cut and split the big huge Osage tree. Forget how many staves you got from it. I seem to recall you had a contest guessing how many staves you’d get out of it.

Yeah, that was a special tree.  I've been wanting to go back down into that valley where I cut that one.  I remember there was a few similar osage trees growing down there.  I don't have the equipment to get them out and don't have the desire to do it by hand anymore.

I split the logs in half tonight after dark.   The biggest log split super clean and straight.  Looks like zero twist.  It was hard to see the others.  It did look like I'll get a stave with a very long hole.  It will make a split limb bow if it holds up.  It was cool to see sparks fly off the wedges when the hammer hit them.  You don't see that in the daylight I guess.
