So my question is the dip or twist in the limb. Do I gotta take it out if the tip comes back around? It's where the stave snakes in the picture.

The one in the first picture will be hard to take out, the one in the second picture will come out pretty easily. I would attempt to straighten both, some osage responds to heat well, some does not, maybe you will get lucky.

Work it down to a floor tiller of say 60-65#, and both will come out. Might need steam on the bigger, but I doubt it. That's my .02 cents.

I got it cut out last night. And the dip doesn't look too bad. It crazy howich different it can look once it's taken down a bit. I'm gonna mess with it a little cuz I wanna reflex the limbs. But most of it will probly stay
