BJ, befriending the HHB sprite is no small thing. She doesn't make herself available to just anyone. I'm still trying to convince her my intentions are good. We share the land as well, but she's only given in twice. We're working on a little something together right now, and all is good, but you know her... she can turn on a dime if you piss her off! lol.

I don't know about spirituality of osage. I just like working with osage especially when the stave has character. Humps, bumps, twists and turns, thick ring, thing rings, pins, knot holes. It is all good.  :BB

You forgot to mention the therapeutic aroma it emits while heat bending, and fortunately there are not too many staves of osage that don't at least require a little heat. -C-

That's what keeps us coming back Jeff,  there nothing else like it and I have no one to talk to personally talk to about it. Even after a run.of bad luck breaking several bows that we're almost completed  I can't get enough.

Shot someone's Osage bow (wavy character, dainty tips), I thought it was the sweetest shooting bow I'd ever shot
