I have a guy that contacted me recently from ages ago asking me if I still was looking for osage, that I don't even remember contacting. So of course I said "as a matter of fact I am",
. He said he has 100 logs on the ground of osage, and wants to give me some as long as I make him a bow out of some of it. He lives upstate of me and it will be maybe 270 or so miles round trip. The only working vehicle I got right now is a plymouth grand voyager that leaks oil (slowly), either burns or leaks coolant and has random bouts of over heating (hasn't since last summer, still not too keen on what was going on there). Other than that it is a trooper and has made similar trips. I am just debating this though, I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know how it looks. It's been on the ground for two weeks, so I don't know about checking, bugs, etc. I would love some good osage though as I haven't had a chance to go cut none for a while. He says the biggest is 8" diameter, so I think he might have a bunch of smaller diameter bush sized osage for the majority, as he was wanting to give me some "branches", etc.
