    I just bought a bunch of maple from a guy in OKC, and mentioned Osage Orange...he gave me two decent sized live edge slabs of it to play with. I am brand new to woodworking, but I do know I love this wood. I'll likely use it for luthiery projects. We shall see when I get my jointer on June 1st. Thanks for the video! Beautiful wood and very fortunate to have so close.

    Yay! finally, somebody appreciates the Osage Orange Tree! I like bows made with it, howevr difficult it may be! Just a side note on this tree; 1; it split easily and without warning! Also, the splinters go deep, and fester something bad! For bow makers, its best to make them from the outside (edge) of a log, because the back (side away from you when shooting) has to be intact-no cuts into that grain because as strong as this wood is, if you violate this rule and cut into that grain, it will split from that cut on to the end of the bow when you bend to shoot!
    Also, dont throw away the chips &sawdust, as it will make good stain for cloth;just put in water-see how yellow the water gets!! This is why you should avoid making spoons, bowls from it. Love the saw, guys!! Maybe someday!

    Here in extreme southern central Oklahoma, it's almost impossible to find Osage orange, hedge apple, bois d'arc, bodark, etc. with enough trunk to saw into lumber; they all branch too close to the ground. However, beautiful wood, great fence posts (I have some that were literally over 100 years old and still are solid), and dried will dull tools ASAP.

    I am planting a ton on my property and learning about coppicing to make bow wood/hedge posts for a secondary business in the far flung future :). I would argue that the redwood is impossible to beat as coolest tree but my top 5 definitely includes hedge. It's just a crazy set of characteristics you'd never expect being fast growing as well as the strongest wood. Not only is it the hottest wood to burn in the U.S... it's the hottest by a large margin. I would say redwood, bristlecone pine, osage orange, pawpaw, Ozark chinquapin chestnut (mostly for the story of how it is being saved) are all good candidates for most interesting tree.

    I think what makes this tree really interesting, is how we know historically the native americans worked with it for many special projects they made. Such as their bows, and why many other tribes feared the southern tribes that had access to the Boi d arc trees in the south, they also used this tree for making their boats, and even their homes! Because they wood could be bent, it was perfect for their rounded topped curved quonset style shelters they built. As well as many other things. And of course, they did it ALL by hand! The cutting, shaping, you name it! And ANYONE who's ever cut one of these trees down, and chopped it for firewood or anything, without the use of thousands of dollars worth of expensive cutting tools, knows all to well how damn hard it is to cut these trees down by hand with an ax! And knowing that, gives me even that much more respect for how much the native americans used it...

I have made knife handles including pocket knifes and hatchet handles. turned ring boxes. and a judges gavel and sound board And intend many more projects with it. I'm kind of a nut over this wood.

    Glad to have found this channel through Nathan and you building a slab. Your a do'er n not a watcher. I wondered how you got that sawdust out and kept up with... think I might of been inclined to use a small waste conveyer and a slight dip in the floor so it had its own channel to travel in but a real conveyer would go right under the middle and keep a lot of it outdoors. Now to to many people do these as they have their drawbacks but every shake an shingle mill I either built or made for myself had a spalt burner that was buried in the ground with a screen roof an a good fan to blow air down into that hole and keep that flame a cooking an there is no sawdust, spalts from the splitters or bark off the logs. Also if you pick the cans out of your trash, it will take it away with a quickness. One about say ten foot wide by the same deep an lined with some fire brick and its there for one long time, and the ash... if any left is so easy to just dip it out with the mini excavator that I saw you playing on. It does require a screen lid or the sparks and ash that tend to float away might find a dry spot to cause greaf... ... I miss running a good wood mill as its just relaxing to me and I see some things that just never really show themselves otherwise. I was disappointed in that maple burl that you sliced up as it should of had some nice swirls an configurations that generally come from them. I made some huge coffee tables from them out of wood from washington state. I don't have much time back there as I was born on one coast and ended up on the other. Nice place but to see a mill setting inside of a building that just needs a bed, coffee pot (I am sure it already does) and a place to set an watch net flix. So's yea.

      @@CairnCreek there's a bunch of it around here in Eastern Kansas and Missouri, because Kansas is so flat and nothing to stop the wind farmers built what they called Hedge rows right over their fences which eventually became the fence and knocked the wind down some for their cows and they coined the term Hedge row, I've walked miles and miles of Hedge rows hunting for rabbits, quail, pheasant and anything else that hid in there, I'm sure you probably already know all that. I could see about borrowing some from some places that use to be farms but has been CRP for years, I have night vision and an electric saw lol, I could actually see about getting some, we could go actual Hedge tree hunting and probably get a big load of them for free or not much money at all.

    Asking for trouble using chainsaws at arms length, as though you are shitting yourself using one, get stood up to the work, this way you see what may happen, I have been a timber faller for 40 years, never lost any fingers or been cut with a chainsaw, now I havnt dropped ones as large as north american trees, but have felled ones 6 to 10 feet through the its butt, never had one split, i.e. Widow makers, I had a good teacher............I have never seen this timber before in my life, I saw it on a large log cabin built using it, very hard timber, oh and yes, all the tree's felled, sawyer was stood up to the job in hand.
