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.

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

ifn your afraid to use it i'll take a piece of the pink wood

Cool.

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

Never seen pink in the heart wood, but have seen trees with sapwood that I were a lil pink, maybe strawberry red. It was on a tree that was dyeing or was about dead...No sap.

Perty interesting stuff. Looking forward to your how to.
