I settled on some Easton Axis Traditional wood grain finish with gold wrap and yellow feathers. 550 grains out of 55#, 56” flying like laser beams with a Kustom King Trailmaker up front.

Is Osage a heavy wood like Kingwood, Coco Bolo, or is it more like Maple. It sure is a very nice yellow too bad it didn't stay that way.

I have a small strip of Osage between Kingwood on my BW but it's almost as dark as the Kingwood.

I was thinking about putting an eyebolt in the end of the log on the porch and hanging my buck tail down. Then when I wanted a piece of meat just skin back the hide and cut off a chunk. Of coarse I figured the weather would be cold enough to let him hang in November.
It was 73* here today, you suppose there really is something to this global warming thing?

We live in the present, we dream of the future, but we learn eternal truths from the past
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.

Ron,
As time goes on will the Osage change color to the honey brown? I know self bows will.

Awesome osage with bamboo cores would float my boat.
