Thamks for the correction. On page 47 of Robert A. Vines' book Trees
of East Texas he hyphenates Osage-Orange.

Fairly common practice?

In the real world it is the sapwood that gets eaten.

My negligence on the matter. Vines does not mention that the most
common use of the wood is for house piers.

Non-sequitur?

Violent type, aren't you?
+ + +


Not at all unless I am bodily threatened. Bois d'Arc weighs 48 lbs per
cubic foot which means it is very dense and hard. I occasionally make
things with it, Pilot drilling is necessary since it deflects nails.

You are violent enough to think that putting nails into osange-orange is not
violence. Kind of like the serial killer who saw nothing wrong in his hobby.

By the way 48 lbs/ft3 means it is halfway between the lightest and heaviest
wood in existence.

Get a grip. ;-)

My grip is good, it is you are hitting nails (and failing at it).

BTW, did you notice that Cereoid's foul mouth drew Echelon's
attention?


+ + +
No. I don't follow the exploits of Cereoid. Never heard of echelon on this
NG, and, no, it does not occur in osage-orange.
