Leaves, thorns, and bark all point to osage to me... take down that stove-pipe straight piece and if yellow sawdust comes out when you cut it then you hit the trifecta.  :)

You got 'Sage, no doubt about it. Not to mention, it looks like healthy and strong Osage. Not weak and half-dead. Believe it or not there is such a thing as "bad" Osage. But this is definately NOT that. Get permission and fire up the chainsaw brother!

Cacatch is right, that is some primo looking hedge right there. You'll get some nice staves and billets out of that.

That looks like it might be some second growth osage.  It sure looks good.  Make sure you seal the ends with glue or something if you cut it.
