Ok so I have a seasoned Osage stave, that i have taken most to the sap wood off of. The thing is the stave was given to be by a friends dad and he was killed in a car accident. I am afraid to go further without out guidance, he was supposed to help me but was killed. I have had this piece of wood since high school and I am now a Senior in college. I would love help I am in the Oxford Mississippi area. Thanks Tyler
