[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3588596, member: 5412"] I have 22 Acres on one place that is about 90% hedge. If cutting it in low low light situations, sparks will come off the chain saw. No other wood does that. There are many miles of osage orange fence rows in Grant country. Most have been abandoned with the posts left in place while steel T posts have replaced them. I've pulled a couple of the posts. What's amazing is that the posts that are in the ground retain their original diameter while the post above ground is 1/3 the diameter. Bodarc posts are in high demand from what I've seen with wood workers because of the yellow color plus there is green stripes in them not present in standard osage orange. The posts below ground bring that out. People that build bows are always looking for straight trunks or some with a little twist for character to build bows. I have a wood lathe. For fun I build strikers for slate turkey calls from different woods. Osage orange is the toughest wood I've ever turned. I can make three strikers out of walnut, without sharpening a tool. When turning one out of hedge, I may have to re-sharpen the tool three times. [/QUOTE]
