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
