osage stave haul
« on: December 11, 2012, 02:54:04 pm »
a while back, a guy had found a huge osage orange tree that had blowed over.  i recall seeing five maybe six logs being cut out of it, 10 maybe 12 inches in diameter.  there was something of a pool to guess how many staves it would make.  the pictures showed it falling over a creek(?).  i am just curious as to how many it finally made.

Luke, that was Clint(Osage Outlaw) that took on that tree. If he doesn't reply to this thread try sending him a PM.

I think he was in the 120-130 range.

That was me.  The total was 109 and 6 billets but I sinew backed one of the billets and got a short hunting bow so I guess 110 is the actual number.  Keenan won the guessing contest.  I sent him a stave with a hole in it.  The wood from this tree has been of very high quality so far.  I just got done working on a piece from it.  It is cooling off on my caul right now.

I was saying, it must be dusty, because my eyes were watering looking at all those staves.

Also, I emailed my wife that pic, and told her to think of that the next time she complained about my few seasoning staves.
