You should try to leach it out like one does with acorn flower, to make acorn bread. Then after you boil it to clear water, put in a few chunks of wax to seal your kitchen ware. It soaks into the wood to seal it, it's also the same way you make fat wood out of crap wood or 2 x 4's, very easy to start fires from a sparker. You sould make some pool sticks out of that osage oranges or chest game boards. Just some thoughts !

@waynecreech 3 года назад

use them in the mashed potatoes and save on butter !

@genebruce6321 3 года назад

It is a great wood to use if you like sharpening tools a lot. It has a high mineral content and is very hard and very dense.

That's just regular London water lol

@georgina979 Год назад

As a kid in Texas, I can't tell you how often I heard... "Horse apple fight!!!" The large heavy horse apple fruit from the tree went flying and kids went running. I truly love making walking sticks from this wood.

Hello my friend, I think there will be no color change as long as it is used indoors. It's a good idea. thank you. See you. Big greetings....

@oshitt1 Год назад

You have to boil it, rinse repeat, it'll turn white with a yellow hue, then you can use it for utensils, there's an old wives tale that parts of the tree can help cure cancer, however I don't think I'd take my chances, boil it until it loses its color.

@JohnHeisz 3 года назад

Lemony! I don't like woods that have a strong yellow hue and that's mainly why I stopped using linseed oil.

@Wordsnwood 3 года назад

I don't think I would build anything huge out of osage orange, or yellowheart (which is another cool yellow wood that I like for accents)... but for accents in small bits.. Supposedly this is very good for rot resistance also, so maybe it would make a good adirondack chair.

@dontfit6380 3 года назад

@@Wordsnwood just saw your comment on rot resistance. We use osage orange or as it’s called around here hedge it’s used primarily for fence posts they say it will last a year longer then steel. I personally know of some corner post that have been in the ground 60 + years and still rock solid. When milling it dead and aged I’ve thrown sparks. If that gives you an idea of how hard it gets.

@@Wordsnwood good for longbows too, if I remember it right. Do a longbow! :D

@Wordsnwood 3 года назад

@@JohnHeisz You and Peter Collin have the same idea... A bow needs green wood. www.mossyoak.com/our-obsession/blogs/how-to/how-to-make-a-longbow and I find the idea terrifying, as I envision it snapping in my face!

@JohnHeisz 3 года назад

@@Wordsnwood what separates green from seasoned is moisture content, so adding that back will get you there. More important I think is that it be straight grain with no cuts through the layers where it will splinter off.

@Morganhomestead3006 7 месяцев назад

good to know. I made my wife a bread knife with it, which should be fine since it will stay dry, but now i know not to use it for much else in the kitchen. I have access to alot of that wood and plan to use it all.

@vernonknight5827 Год назад

It has been said that Osage Orange rivals the famous and almost impossible to get Brazilian Rosewood as a tonewood for acoustic guitars!

@randycosgrove3608 3 года назад

A few years ago I bought some wood sold as "faux satinwood" from my hardwood dealer. Nice yellow colour. Worked well, didn't fade or brown in time. I have a number of pieces using it and nothing has changed in colour over several years. I use it much like you do. As an accent or for something different. But when I wash my hands covered in dust from it and don't get them fully clean with soap it will stain the towel. I hear about that. I also have several once white tee shirts that are now a nice light yellow from a trip through the washing machine with socks that had satinwood dust on them.

@RobBernhard 3 года назад

Good video. I did not know it was used for dye! I've seen the odd lumpy fruits that it produces in a few of the parks and conservation areas around me. The only thing I had really heard about Osage Orange is that it is one of the hottest burning hard woods. I need to find some locally and test that out.

@lorez201 2 года назад

Tangential to this, another species in the same genus as Osage orange has been used as a source of the dye fustic, which was the original dye used to color khaki pants.

@krtwood 3 года назад

Don't eat the yellow mashed potatoes. Worththeeffort makes mallets out of the stuff, though they call it bodark down there, and yeah they turn dark brown.

@Wordsnwood 3 года назад

... or yellow snow. Will have to see how the colour changes. Maybe not enough UV in my kitchen is why the trivets are keeping their colour?

@dontfit6380 3 года назад

It will brown with exposure to sunlight probably the UV. Once off the mill I get it inside ASAP. Not sure if it will brown if it has a finish. I would think with a finish and being indoor the color should last indefinitely

@Wordsnwood 3 года назад

Hope so... time will tell.

Or, as we call it in Texas, Bois D' Ark! We also call it Horseapple tree!

hardest of the North American hardwoods on the Janka scale. It is dense...I have used in acoustic sound boxes..

@victoryfirst2878 2 года назад

So you would not use olive wood. That also releases some color fella. The wood is not toxic at all.

@TheGrantAlexander 3 года назад

Hmm, thanks for sharing that Art

@WesHamstra 3 года назад

@petercollin5670 3 года назад

I want to get a hunk of O.O. to play around with one of these days. Its use in making archery bows makes me wonder how it would do as a fly rod.

@Wordsnwood 3 года назад

You want it green then I guess, not kiln dried!?

@petercollin5670 3 года назад

@@Wordsnwood I'm not sure. I have made bamboo fly rods, and you need to heat treat the cane before planing to its final dimension.

That would be one heavy fly rod, but I don't think you could find a stronger wood, you will be yanking those fish teeth right out of their mouths. Lol😂
