I use a whole pickupload to pad the concrete floor in my shop.  Great stuff, should you ever drop a tool, never breaks!

Amazing thing, since I started making bows, I have been growing.  Nowadays my workbench is about 8 inches too short!

If there's a market for it I'll go out and shave the crap out of a piece of wood, I'm not working. ;) It does make good dye when boiled.

I thought I read, someone wanted some for dyeing  something? Then he got an answer, day late I burnt mine yesterday.

Folks in the Rendezvous scene have all learned to watch my camp closely.  Whenever someone sees me take out my tools, they come a runnin' to clean up the osage shavings.  No better campfire starter in the free world short of "Boy Scout Water" (a.k.a. lighter fluid).

There was a post on Facebook about it. I would take them, but I have enough stuff being stored and not being used.  >:D

Jw, I disagree. Dryer lint makes a far better fire starter than osage. However, often times there is more osage than lint in my dryer lint trap.

I agree with osage shavings as fire starter, Hot and Fast.

Osage shavings start my wood stove every time it gets lit. Lint makes better tender, osage shavings make good kindling.

It may seem strange for Florida, but I save my scrap for fire starter, we have a short season to sit outside and have a fire for hot dogs and burgers over a real fire.

I save mine in my little coal stove I put in the shop. Only get to use it about 3 nights out of the year.
