Mark, I don't normaly heat treat osage either, but one I built yesterday was an absolute dog! heat treating it this morning and it seems to be putting some life back into it. The moisture was a little higher than I thought, normally I dont even check the moisture on osage as my climate seems to agree with it. After I get finished I noticed it was close to 9% which isnt real bad but I prefer osage about 7 1/2. Steve

I'm out of town right now and won't be back until the end of the month so you will just have to keep this one out of the BOM

It's for sure that poor quality Osage is helped by heat treating

That's a beauty Marc. I like the handle work and the character in the limbs.
