Got new drink machine and cooler coming this morning and want to work on my Dog grave yard just the other side of the big pavilion, kid of messed it up with the cleaning. Lots of good dogs are laid to rest there. Hope yall have a good one. Life is Good. 
Well aint that something. I did it.
I can move on now.....I always have enjoyed the hunt for materials as much as anything and in fact before i even got started on my first bow i thought about the resources needed and determined i had everything to do so. For me Osage has been hard to source but i get lucky sometimes. Good thing hickory and locust have kept me busy over the years.
The one clump of osage i know of and have permission to cut i didnt need yet so just was letting it grow till i had the oppertunity. As things would go I need to get started on that this winter. Looking over things i decided to take some of the branches first, remove the bark and sap wood a few at a time, as my time is limited these days. The photo above is one of those. Below is what i was able to split from it. aweful reflexed but not going to pass on the oppertunity to work on them. great rings imo
