First tree looks like black locust or elm. Second pick both trees look like black locust. Third pic also looks like typical black locust canopy. Gooder firewood or weather resistant lumber.
I'm ok with black locust. Asked about Osage cause I was hoping I finally found my long bow building tree.

I thought locust. But actually have no idea what osage looks like standing.

Probably 6 foot long 6" round. I could buy a blank online but think it would be fun to try and do one from tree to finished bow. I've never made a bow before though.
Hedge is hard to come by in my part of PA.
What are you looking for in the stick you need (length, circumference, etc.)?
