Ha I recognizes that one,to tell you the truth some time you can't tell but most of the time I
can by looking at the bark on this one and the twin sisters you could see it in the bark and you are right there is a difference in crooked and snaky,most is crooked so you straighten it out but
snaky is something else al together.I don't know if we have anymore like that in the pile but I will look and see what I might can find.All I can tell for looking to cut your own is look close at the bark
and a lot of times you will see it.You are also right straight Osage is hard to fine but snaky is more rare than straight.
Here are a couple of pictures to show what it looks like after the bark was off and the top half before,maybe this will give you and idea what to look for,notice the bark.
