  I might still have 100 seeds I haven't used. I will check. If not I am sure it would be no problem to round some up for you. They have a quick germination time and need to be moved to larger pots very quickly as they get root bound. Once they establish themselves I doubt you would ever have to water. You might want to stake and train them to grow straight. If they get too crooked you can simply cut them off and let a staight sucker take over. I usually get close to 100% germination, very easy to grow trees.

Beautiful work, Osage sure looks like great wood, too bad I can't find any here in Brazil and it would be a rip off to import it from the States.

That sucks, Osage is great and the bows made from it only get better with age, they turn from a yellow to a beautiful brownish orange honey color.

Knotty - trust me your thirties are just around the corner! Get some seeds sown! You can get osage seeds off ebay for not much at all. I've got some growing now but they don't seem too keen on our conditions...
Cheers guys.
The recurve is 62 ntn and the pyramid is 64ntn. I probably would have gone a little shorter if these were for me but they are for a customer so I tend to leave things a little less stressed for peace of mind. Still they perform plenty good enough. A little thud when shooting....but i'm a picky sod....;) and I've only been shooting my Turkish hornbow which has literally no handshock at all due to the short bending limbs. Anyway they are off to their new owner now and I hope he likes them.
I just realized I hadn't burnished the joint in the grip leather so they look a bit better now ;)
