Agreed, Now that I look back at it. Our mentality go in was "it if ain't near perfect lets skip it". If I had a chainsaw I would've cut smaller stuff.

Man, my hats off to ya. Cutting osage with ax and hand saw is a task I don't think I really want to tackle very often. Hope you get some good ones out of that batch.   Danny

Nice haul man.  I like cutting staves with hand tools.  Unless there is a lot of real big stuff.  How do the rings look.

At first glance I second guessed it as well n may be mulberry....but I think it is osage...I zoomed in on the smaller branches attached to the tree they were cutting and I do see thorns...kinda hard to see tho,but I do believe I see em...and mulberry don't have thorns....there were thorns on the small branches and limbs right jordo?....

I think the roughness of the end cut and the very wide sapwood makes it hard to identify if that is the only pics you look at.  That ratio looks good from what I can tell.  Good score!!
