Get the most out of each osage stave by learning how to split out multiple bow worthy staves from each large stave. All you need for a good backing on an osage stave is a heartwood ring you have the freedom to make splits off the belly of the stave as well as splitting it in half. I demonstrate how to evaluate a stave for potential smaller staves and how to plan out where to split. Using a minimum of tools and only a few minutes of time you can turn one fat stave into two, three, or even more viable bow staves.
