Thread: Osage logs

pardon my ignorance but what is eoi?........bob

Expression of Interest

I'm interested, what are you after to swap for the osage? What is the condition of the logs - green cut, dry etc? Also, where exactly are you in NSW?

The trees were cleared about 6 years ago and the logs were stacked with painted ends. I'm not convinced about the painting advantages but the logs are a bit of everything in shape.
There are about 6 logs left we can choose from,

send me an email [email protected] and I'll try to get some pics up.
We are in the Mittagong area about 1 hr south of Sydney.

cheers

Hi,

I wouldn't mind buying a little if that is possible? However, it would involve postage to Tassie...

I would ideally want boring plain straight grained wood... It would be for making a bow (as in bow and arrow).

As most of the trees weere heavily pruned, there is not much straight grained over about 3' suitable for bow making. I'll rip a suitable log and see what its like.
cheers

Still good for wood turning though

Hi,

Even if it is two 3' long pieces, they can be used to make the arms on a composite bow (and Osage is great bow wood).

That being said, a 6' long piece of straight grain wood would be awesome - especially if the bark was still on.

Cheers
