    I’m trying to get my hands on some Osage firewood. I’m in eastern Iowa and haven’t had much luck. Any help finding some wood be appreciated.

    Osage makes great firewood but at the end of the day you might need blood a real pleasure chipping the brush with a old chuck&duck chipper turns your clothes to rags and rips you to shreds also :salute:
