osage orange

I get all my Osage Orange from right here in the North Texas. This is a beautiful wood. But like a lot of thing beautiful it has an ugly side. This wood is very hard, it dulls tools and can be very brittle. In larger tree just the wind blowing through it can cause "wind checking" which cause cracks in the inside of the tree. But all thing aside I always find great treasure inside Osage Orange.
