A friend brought over six nice 8' x 12"-16" osage orange/bodark/hedge logs today for me to saw. He thought they were something else. (I won't embarrass him by telling what.) I have more Osage Orange than I'll ever turn in my lifetime or use for singletrees, fence posts or Indian bows.
My question is: What is Osage Orange good for besides turning? Anyone ever use it for flat stock projects?
He's thinking of having me saw it into 1 by's and 2 by's and building patio tables and Adirondack chairs. Will it work?
