I have to get Cody over to the shop to pick some more osage out, couldn't get him to take enough home from what was split yesterday. A load will go to Paulsemp too, he can turn 'em into nice bows quickly.
I got a pile stacked, ends sealed with glue and bark soaked down with borer/miner spray. Spare time and
the energy to remove bark and sapwood is in short supply lately. Just realized Bowmo's a local guy also so maybe I can pawn a few off on him too.  ;)
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Looks like a nice haul. It always looks better in the woods  ;).  That hackberry looks real nice.

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Y'all weren't fooling around!  Looks like a bunch of future bows Greg.  Slide some of those "reject" pieces of 'sage aside for me! >:D

This looks like hackberry's cousin sugarberry to me...About the same characteristics.

Bet they are the same Jim. Too uncanny to not be.
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.
