Got a call from a tree trimming friend yesterday to pick up a few osage logs. I love it when I get there and they look like these.

 

Even I can follow rings like these. LOL

Nice find!

I had a mullberry removed from my yard awhile back and have been kicking myself for not recognising it as a bow wood. I hope the tree trimmer had a bow building friend on speed dial.

Seal those ends and get to splittin'

Nice haul!

got them split and the ends sealed today.Will try to get them peeled and backs sealed tomorrow.

Dan, I heat with wood and also turn game calls on the lathe. Between bow building and call making I have trouble coming up with enough wood to stay warm. LOL
