Reason I ask is I have been harvesting this years sage since about last month, and will be putting up a good amount here on the trade forum and on paleoplanets trade blanket soon. It will be a little bit yet till I can get all the pictures up and stuff. But I have some good pieces, some 76" + long, perfectly straight alignment, and with no knots. I also have some that have some propeller twist in them, that you would have to undo to make a flatbow out of at all. I usually make narrow d-bows or longbows out of them just because I am too lazy and also don't have the set up to properly de-twist propeller twist. But I got enough longbow staves for the moment so I figure I will include those guys if anyone is interested. I found an ancient osage tree that had died naturally (I'm guessing, it was a stump but was very very rotted and didn't appear to be cut anytime this or last century), which had a bunch of osage suckers that had grown up into some nice tall trees. Every one that was good enough to give some good bow staves, no matter how straight the bark was, twisted when split like a barbers pole.
I should of left em as halfs instead of quartering em, but I got greedy,
. LOL
