    Nope, Mulberry has a smoother bark, Osage aka Hedge. Great stuff for the really cold nights. Check it out on the BTU chart. Nice score!!!

    Parody post fail. This was meant to be a 'brag' post. :p Yep...Osage. Very rarely ever see it here. Not a stitch of it to be found in my woods. This came off my boss's property. He's got three more that look to be dead standing. Hope I end up with those as well.

    Tell him it's crap wood, but you'd be happy to " clean it up" for him, before it becomes a falling hazard .

    He only burns recreationally. He knows what it is though.
