Who was looking for some osage shavings? This is what I have so far and not even started yet
-
I've got a shop floor full, but thank you anyway.
-
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.
-
Maybe I saw it there. ????
-
Osage shavings start my wood stove every time it gets lit. Lint makes better tender, osage shavings make good kindling.

Same here Pat... :)

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.

I made the mistake of burning some in my grill once. It boiled the paint off it. Brand new forgemaster grill with adjustable fire grate and extra thick meat grills. I was very upset. Burns real nice in my forge though.
-
If you have a good amount let me know what you want, I'll take them. They aren't shiny, but I'm sure this pack rat could find a hole to stuff them in!
-
Traded them for a knife.
-
I think it was a good trade.
-
Nice knife scottski i have one just like it and its lasted me 25 years so far
-
Yah worth it I think.
-
That was a cool trade. I've had so many osage shavings and used them as fire starter/kindling that I never even thought someone would want them or that they would have more value to someone else. I really like em for the starter though so I don't think I'll be trading mine,lol. Danny

He is making some die for something, said he would send me pics.
-
