Title: Pennsylvania Osage
Post by: RAU on July 02, 2008, 08:41:00 PM
Hi guys. I live in North East Pennsylvania, Exeter to be exact which is about 8 miles north of Wilkes-Barre. Im looking for some Osage to cut. As far as I know theres none near me. I work for PennDOT and was working in the Harrisburg area for a couple years and know theres some down there, especially around adams and franklin counties. I also know where theres some really nice big straight trees along a railroad in Lebabon County but they obviously cant be cut. Anyone on here able to point me in the right direction as to where i might find some to cut. Im not afraid to spend a whole day driving,finding some trees, locating a landowner, hopefully getting permission, then cutting a few. I wont ask anyone to give me directions to their private stash or anything like that but maybe a general area to begin my search. I heard theres a bunch out west near Pittsburg, and theres also some in and around center County and I would even consider driving that far If I had specifics and could come home with enough staves to be worthwhile. Any help from you Pennsylvania guys would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Don

Too bad you don't live closer to me...I'd let ya cut one down.  Took these photo's the other day, a lot of tall one's in one of your fencerows.
