I recently got some really nice dry osage from a friend in Ohio. A couple staves had wavy grain along the edge... first belly split cried out SNAKE!

Please leave the Ohio Osage alone... I might need it someday!!!!!!!!

Another great looking bow Shaun.

Maybe an Ohio Coppehead would be a cool accent on that snakey osage. Well,,, maybe a couple snakes would be better with that length..
