Soccer! You play soccer ;D
Those were the days, about 20 years ago I used to play in goal for our work's team in a Sunday league... that's where I got the name Del the Cat.
What position do you play?
Oh and I'm sure we can find some room in the UK for some of those staves... I know the UK is small, but I expect we can fitsome in.

One part of me wants to say, "Okay - Just 16 more to reach my guess of 72."  The other part of me wants to cheer you on to 100+

I don't play, my daughter does.  I sit on the sidelines in a bag chair and watch.  I'm shaped more like a soccer ball than a soccer player :-[

Bad news for the 16 more part, I still got a lot more to go.

IF that were me in OO's place, it would sometime about now that I would discover that this particular osage tree was incredibly poorly suited for making bows!

Still just blows my mind.  Showed this thread to the guy that taught me to build bows, his work is gorgeous.  His poor jaw dropped and he was flustered.  It was then he told me in all his years of building bows he had not made more than 20 of them total, and almost half were white woods!  He likes the look of that pile as much as I do.

Awesome find! Looks like plenty of work so far. I'm curious to know the final count.
