[Steppes] Osage harvesting (was Steppes Bowyers Guild)

[Betsy Marshall]

This may sound bizarre coming from me, but do you plan to burn
the stuff not good/straight enough for bows? some carvers love the stuff-
 for the color and the durability- might be an after market or some such for
the non-bow
sections, if you could connect with them...
Pyro- I don't mind burning the useless stuff...call me,eh?

You got it.  I have a F150 supercab so I should be able to haul some logs as
needed.  And a 12 inch diameter log 7 feet or so in length is hefty.  Course
i
assume we are going to be trying to split as many of these down to bow
staves
as we go? Is that correct Jason?  You are the source of knowledge from
experience here for most of us.

Petruccio- Ask all the questions you want.  Hopefully you will even get some
good answers. :-)
