I usually only see pink osage after drinking Uncle Fester's clear elixir. I have also spotted pink squirrels and elephants.
-
Never saw any pink colored osage. I've seen some with red streaks and blotches.
-
I like my venison steaks a little pink in the middle. :D
-
never seen pink hedge myself,but its not like i see a lot of it either. lol
i would still use it,but i use every little piece i can,just cause for some of us its hard to get.
heck i even split staves in two,just so i can make more bows from hedge this way.they tend to be little lighter in weight but a trade off worth while ;D
ifn your afraid to use it i'll take a piece of the pink wood ;)

Cool. 8)
I don't think a real man would care about the pink wood. The critters could care less as well.
