If this turn out well, everyone will start burning their osage stash. Who knows Jake, you might have started a trend. ;D

End up having big bonfires for everyone to bring there osage. It does burn good and hot by the way. I think the worst things I lost were my buckskins. Anyone that has ever made buckskin knows the amount of time and hardwork that goes into making good buckskin.
Now trying to scramble to get a bow and arrows together for archery season that starts in 2.5 weeks!!! My wife was like now you will be making truly primitive gear... because I lost all my tools. )P(

My draw is only 25 inches, but if sleek doesn't pull off a bow for you I am sure their are others that would mail you a long draw bow for the hunting season until you get back on your feet. Sorry for your loss. Good buck skin is very hard to make. you have any idea how the fire started to prevent that from happening again?

Yea I put a hot lawnmower away in a building next to my wood shop. My draw length is 24-25in. So if someone wants to lown me a bow for hunting season I won't say no.  (SH) I'll pay for shipping. I'm going to cut into one of them this evening

Sorry to see this. Hope you can still get some bows out of them.  I’m sure you put a lot of work in procuring those staves.
