Isn't it funny how when you have one break you must always figure out a way to make something out of it. I have made back scratchers forks spoons.. Miniature bows all sort's of thing's but never have throwed away one that broke..

Yea Thimo it was osage and I agree elm is tough stuff, I have one that has clamp marks in the back, its been walked on tossed over brush piles, bounced in the truck
you name it
I wasn't upset on this one as I figured it was gonna break and it was just getting floor tillered so not much time invested.

I agree with George. Make a short bow from it. Any ole piece of wood will make a nice walking stick but a cool stave like that is destine to be a bow.
