This box arrived on Saturday but I only had a chance to look into it today. Two blocks of Osage Orange. Looks like some interesting wood and one that I have never worked with before. Just waxed em up till I have a chance to play with them.

Thanx Cody!

Kudos to Cody, and good for you David..........Osage Orange can be sanded smooth and a glass like finish [billard ball] can be had from Osage.............I have a HF that has a a finish which has a deep reflection in it..........super nice stuff if worked correctly, David.

That's cool! Osage is lovely stuff... I particularly like the deep amber tone it takes on with time. I've seen some gorgeous effects with torching the stuff as well. Good on Cody for sharing!

Just now saw your post, David. I travel on Mondays once a month. Glad to see the box arrived and I hope you have fun with the Bois d' Arc.
