Is this worth harvesting?
« on: November 11, 2012, 05:48:03 pm »
I see this osage fence post every day as it is directly across the road from my driveway. I asked my neighbor if i could have it as long as i replaced it. He said sure....... Just drive a t post in its place. Anyway i just wondered if any of you think it could be worth my time to get it?

Woha~~~~~~ interesting piece indeed, not sure what kind of stave you'll get out of it or what kind of bow but I guess anything is worth a try.

Soon as  i decide to take a break from hunting (im off work till the 30th) i grab it.
Pat, if there is enough good wood for 2 i will send ya half. Heck if i decide  i aint up to the chalenge i might send tha whole thing. I just cant stand drooling over any longer. My neighbor thought i was crazy before i asked him for it. Now he KNOWS im crazy.  ;D

What did you say the gps heading is? >:D   I am surprised you had to ask. I would have found a broom handle or anything for a replacement post :o >:D

By all means take it....and make sure to document all steps in the process;-). I know I dont need to say this....but find a good replacement post and make sure your neighbor feels he wins out on the trade too;-). Good neighbors are gold:-).

Cheers
