    Osage Orange

    Thread Starter: Jerry Thompson

    My friend in So. Dk. was given a fair amount of Osage Orange. He hauled home and called me to tell me how heavy it was. He said it had been in a barn for several years and was thrilled to have.

    Extension cord ties

    Thread Starter: Cameron Wood

    Finish texture showing through paint
