My buddy George(G on the Trad Gang) has a knack for finding special osage. He has given me a bunch of osage burls for nock overlays and rests. He brought this by today, highly figured osage root from a long dead tree. I have never seen anything like it. He is going to turn bowls from it. I told him to save me any scraps he cuts off so I can use them for nock overlays.

Wow!  Thats some pretty stuff!

holy crap....

How would someone like to chase that ring?  Amazing stuff.

Always a suprise when foolin' with the Osage!  Kool!

Man would that make great knife scales on a Damascus blade.. Make you dizzy for sure.. Great find..

That's beautiful!

Pretty awesome stuff. I agree, would make great knife scales, tip overlays, etc.

Some guys have all the luck!  :D  
That is some fine lookin' Osage there!

I'll bet Doc would enjoy puttin some of that on one of his purty blades.

That is some outstanding stuff Eric!

Where's the green with envy Graemlin?

Yep, what 4Runr said, you need a knife with that on the handles.

Very nice!

Wow!! that is something else, I had been wondering if there was such a thing as burled osage.

From what I've seen of Eric's craftsmanship there will be some real beautiful bows in the near future.

Wow! Very nice looking.

I'd like to see a riser made of that stuff.
