    If it's nice enough you could sell it to someone who makes homemade bows! I heard that suff can sell for a pretty penny to the right person!

    Finally got around to milling the Osage today. Turned out pretty good. Cut all to 1"

    Gorgeous wood. How did your mill and blades handle it?

    I've got a osage orange bowl turned by a friend in my office. It ages to a deep slightly reddish brown. Super cool.
