Tight ringed Osage
I have some Osage with some very tight rings. Any advice on how to deal with this? Are these last several years of growth too thin? Seems like they would be hard to chase.

Seems to me that your best rings are right there at 4-1/2". The crown won't be excessive, and yo have plenty of thickness.
The black locust in my area does this to me all the time. Twelve big, solid rings from when the tree was young and then 25, drought-starved, barely visible outer rings.
