Orange Agate?

Might be a "salesmen's name" for Osage Orange...a hard wood with strong color.

How is Osage pronounced? Two syllables with a long O and long A, or 3 syllables with a long O short A and long E, or something I haven't considered? Thanks Martin

I've always heard it this way.

possibly orangeheart? rich

Bo---dock!

According to some friends who saw and purchased this wood at another show, this and another species called "Black agate" are actually new species from Peru. Sorry, no information on the species names, but they're apparently legit.

They had some osage but this is orange with interesting grain.

Much of what was being sold was checking in the Denver dry air. They and one large plank 5 inches thick that I was interested in until I turned it over and saw some huge checks in the other side.

I ended up with a small log about 6 > In article ,

Thanks. I asked around and none of the other vendors had heard of it.
