I've had some inquires about where to get Osage Orange sets. I have a local supplier and I cut them into sets myself. On another forum I've started to get requests for sets. Is there any interest here for Osage Orange sets? They would be $100 each.

It looks like there may be some real interest. The sets I've been able to come up with in the past are about 15 degrees or so off of quarter. I have had no problem with them. Of course I'll be looking for as quartered as possible. For those who are really serious about ordering sets, PM me. I'll likely be making a trip to dig through lumber this week or next.

A few years ago I fortunately I was able to get a number of perfectly quartered sets in jumbo size. Could be talked out of a few sets though.

Got mine in yesterday, thanks Chris.

I've never worked with this stuff before. It's got such a neat color to it and the tap tone is nice and glassy. Cool stuff. I know this stuff grows in my area too, I should hunt some down some day.

Glad it made it there. Osage works decently easily. I bent it around .080 with no issues.
