Best Osage I've ever seen
« on: August 30, 2015, 02:45:00 pm »



I don't know if I'm dreaming or not but my friend texted me saying he found an amazing Osage and ya I agree. It's on a hillside behind his house where it's like the last place you'd think to find osage

Sweet find, but that looks a bit like a poison ivy vine climbing that trunk - hard to see exactly - but be careful what you hug!

Good reason right there to not be a tree hugger.
Tread softly and carry a bent stick.

Well dang I didn't think of that. Won't be the fist time I got poison ivy from a vine on a tree.

That's a good looking tree.  Judging by the bark I'd bet it has good rings inside.  Post some pictures after you get it cut and split.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

I don't know Clint....if it is in the woods it might have some tight rings due the tree canopy........either way it could make some great bows...

Couldn't get it down today because I only have my bow saw and this sucker won't come down. I'm afraid it's gonna spit as it falls. The rings are perfect though I got a glimpse of them.

Be careful.....cutting trees in the woods can be dangerous,  they can hang up in the canopy tops and be tough to get on the ground.

Man that's all twisted and full of knots. Tell me where it is and I'll "dispose" of it for you.  >:D >:D

Very nice looking tree,I would notch it good on the fall side ,that should help it from splitting  up the middle when you drop it. Of course it needs to be split anyway. ;) :)
