Looks like trash to me, Send it to me for firewood! ::)
-
I can 'burn' some as well. along with some of those antlers. Might as well clean out the truck. :laugh:
-
I know I have seen wood like that somewhere before !
-
It's kind of a sickly yellow color. Is that the color adjustment on my screen is that wood gone bad? Ron
-
Guys i dont think the yellow color is wood gone bad. I believe by the yellow color, bark color and texture (hard to get a good look tho), and by the color of the end peice that its what is called a kentucky yellow wood.
found a link here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cladrastis_kentukea
Apparently its a pretty rare one. If its not that i dont know what it would be.
-
I'm afraid I better come clean. The wood is Osage orange, bois d'arc , maclura pomifera,or as us Kansas folk refer to it, hedge. I was being a bit facetious by acting as if I didn't know and I apologize for that. Thanks for helping out though and welcome to PA. Josh
BTW the horns in the picture is just what we picked up to prevent tire damage. Much more there.
-
Hehe nice wood ya got there anyway. to bad im wood ignorant and can barely tell a hickory from a oak ;D
-
Watch out where the huskys go and don't you eat that yellow snow... ???
Them look awfully straight but ill take a chance and try to bend em ;D

It may be obvious to us familiar with golden boogers, but I didn't want any well meaning folks trying to waste their time trying to research it. After all, I'm rotten , but not that dirty rotten ! Josh

Worked on this Osage for a couple hours. Only split two logs and got 6 - 50" staves and 6 - 80" staves By the time I got them pealed and sealed I was out of light. First pic is the 50"ers. Josh
-
nice. how long do ya think that will last you?
-
Until the first week of April, when Soy comes to get 'em. These are for him. But to answer your question, after curing for two years, they would probably last a year or two. I don't use Osage very much. Josh
