All I ever get is Kansas Osage. Works as good as any other:)

I can be available in the whichita area.

South of Topeka??

nclonghunter-- 24 hours to drive across Kansas, that's about right, but osage all the way? I don't recall seeing too many trees west of Manhatten, but I may have been in a trance by then.

You guys must be the ones in the left lane on the turnpike with the blinker on going 55... 
For those of us who live here Denver is a 9 hour trip from the KCK area.
Oh, and the osage here is just fine to make bows, just don't call it osage to a native Kansan, they call it "hedge".

[BowEd]

Ditto Paul....The locals here call it hedge too in southern Iowa.You call it osage orange and they'll look at ya like your talking spanish.....lol.

Hi all - Paul Rodgers here. I'm the friend of Tim Baker's who's heading out to Kansas.
We will be cutting around the Wichita area, only bringing back the excellent stuff and leaving the rest there. We've made many successful Osage trips before.
Need help with the heavy lifting and driving. Plan on leaving the 15th, so e-mail or call me ASAP if you're interested. 925-550-4759

It's "Bodark" here in Texas.

Like old Jim Hamm liked to call it bodark too.
Thanks Ishi there for the ph. no. and the date of departure.Around Witchita?That's quite a ways for me to travel.At least 6 to 7 hours one way.I'll have to bow out of this one.Good luck!!Sounds like the weather will hold up for ya.

Not totally true!  Mullet's got one growing in his front yard.  REALLY SLOWLY!

We need to start planting Mulberry, Brian.

we need the patience to wait till his osage is grown... then we sneak up north there with a axe... i'll hide and wait... you take him for a burger... we split the haul... 

can't go wrong... until he catches us and beats the snot out of us...

Drive on up to Mojam next July and we'll send ya home with plenty of osage. Heck, being as you are from Florida, you'll be the only guy there not grumbling about the heat and humidity.
