Hey Madts
Every piece of wood is good to have and if you got a lathe this maybe a good one for a few bowls or turned box .
Try slicing some veneer from it .

I see about 500$ – 700$ worth of bow staves . No band saw needed .
Cross cut the thick end to 4’
Split it with a froe and/or wedges and sell them , if you are looking for a
quick turn around .
Quick cash ( maybe : ) . So as not to sound like advice , I emphasize the word
" maybe " . Have fun ……nice tree .

I see a lot of strait sections and lots of beautiful boxes.
I never resawed a tree so I can only imagine what it take.

Osage is very dense, and dries Very slowly. It’s a prime wood for turners, and would make lovely boxes if you can dry it without splitting (eliminate the pith.) I processed several logs a few years ago, and the bowls I’d done just shimmer with chatoyance. They’re beautiful.

That’s beautiful, BarbS…It reminds me of salmon only golden. I love salmon….golden salmon….mmmmmmsushi

It does! I hadn’t thought of that…
