hmmm ::).....i wish i had me one of those staves ;)

i think its a male maclura pomifera

some times the males arent as thorny and furrow barked as a female,and do not produce fruit.....the inside of the wood tells it all...unless you photoshopped it and are being a tricksy hobbit :laugh:...was there anymore around like it?...like in a row fashion?

Dude your as stubborn as my wife!  I never heard of a bowyer so resistant to the idea that you have access  to prime Osage.  Don't worry Soy, I won't tell everybody  that you've been cutting it up for firewood!   Oops!    :embarassed: :laugh:
