I agree with your thought on PM that it looks like Osage Orange . However I have never seen osage that big before . was 19" wide in orig board . Mill Owner has a tree service , swears its Mulberry . Verrryyyy Heavy ! |

I’ve never handled mulberry before but it is supposed to look very similar to Osage. Osage orange is quite a bit denser than mulberry. Mulberry is reported to have a specific gravity of 0.69 compared to osage’s 0.86 so it is almost 25% heavier. Wud, have you ever used Osage to compare the density? With a board that size and the sawyer knowing it in log/tree form. I’d think it is not Osage. A good way to tell for sure is to soak some shavings in water. Osage will dye the water yellow. |

Per that Test it is Mulberry . |
