Nice bow Bob, warts and all. Is osage imported into the country or does it grow there?

wood carver,Osage does grow here in a few places.apparently it was imported many years ago mainly as wind breaks by farmers.Some later day farmers never realised their value and dozed many into piles and burnt them!They grow in limited numbers about 4 hours away from me, but are very hard to get out of their location due to terrain

Thanks Mark, it is a sweet shooter too! Been using it at my local club and enjoy using it.
