Osage Log 65" Long

[nlester]

I cut two logs of hedge that were from a fallen tree behind my house.  I'm fortunate enough to have a hedge row full of old growth osage.  This is one of the logs split up into staves.  Out of a piece 65" long, I got 9 staves.
 
 

If I had more knowledge about splitting a belly stave, I could probably get another 4 or 5 out of this pile.  Not the greatest haul in the world, but not bad for one log....and I've got another one to go.  FYI, I'm not trying to make the guys jealous that don't have access to osage.

Looking good.  Seal em up and spray em for bugs and let them season.

I think I've did pretty well.  Look forward to seeing if I can make any of them into a bow.  Kris, I'll be in touch soon.  Can't wait to get the other one split.  It's bigger yet.

The trick is to make em jealous and then offer to trade em out of their yew staves or whatever we cant get.
