Another osage project
osage outlaw:
I took 2 trailer loads of osage logs to a sawmill about 15 minutes away. Former amish guy. He was very cheap. I paid him more than he asked. I want to take some more to him when I get the extra money. I have a spalted black cherry tree that I want to have cut too.
I was riding the trolley between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge Tennessee a few years back when I noticed all of the benches were made from osage boards. I told my wife when that trolly was rusting away in a scrap yard one day the benches will still be as solid as the day they were built.
Aaron Brill:

I don't doubt that a bit.I had an old timer tell me in the cafe once say he used osage posts for structure for fish in his pond.I asked him how long did he expect those to last.He said oh at least 50 years and then they'll turn into iron....Ha Ha.
