Yep, that sapwood is the thickest I have ever seen on osage. To save work I split it as well as the top heartwood ring or two off, just like I would when removing a core split.

Eric Im starting to do that more than ever on any stave deep enough to let me. Im tired of yanking sapwood off osage. A good screwdriver and a hammer work much better.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

I've started taking it off with the bandsaw. I'm really getting lazy. ::)
