Description

Can be used for staves and bows - but also a beautiful wood for woodworking!

Despite the name, it’s not really orange…more of a golden to bright yellow. Over time the wood darkens to a medium brown. Osage Orange is a difficult wood to work with because it is extremely hard and dense. It turns very well and has no issues with gluing or finishing.

Osage Orange is a gnarly tree that often has a crooked trunk that makes it almost impossible to use as long clear lumber. That being said, the wood is very stable and bends without breaking which explains its use by bowyers.

Our dimensional stock usually originates from Argentina and often has longer and clearer sections.

If you would like to do the milling yourself - try our 4/4 Rough Cut Osage Orange Lumber for a more budget friendly version.

What does S4S mean?

S4S Lumber

Who are they for? These are ideal for those who aren’t equipped with the necessary tools to flatten and straighten boards.

The term "surfaced" or "dressed" refers to a piece of wood that has been milled. To achieve the necessary dimensions, we select a larger board to work from. Both faces and edges are then surfaced so you can be assured that the board is flat and straight. These boards are available in specific sizes.

For example: 3/4” x 5-1/4” x 24”

Rough Cut Lumber

Who are they for? These are ideal for those who enjoy working with machinery or hand tools to mill their own boards.

We use this term to describe boards that require additional milling. Rough cut lumber have been run through the planer to show the grain however they have not been dressed. You will need to mill both faces and edges. Rough cut lumber are available in specific lengths with varying widths.

For example: 4/4 x (5-6”) x 24”

You will receive a board that is just shy of an inch thick, with a width in the range of 5-6”, and is 24” long.

Yellow heart

All the wood was awesome except the yellow heart which warped like a hockey stick when I put through the bandsaw.

Great company to buy hardwood from!

Ordered a Osage Orange lumber package. Received some great pieces of lumber. The problem is I do not know what i am going to build out of it. My list of things to build is long.

The lumber looks great and delivery was smooth. I noticed on the packing slip that the country of origin was Argentina - thought this would be from North America since a native wood.

Amazing stuff but incredibly hard and dense

Great hard dense wood for a variety of uses. Very happy with the quality from KJP. I assume they run this stuff through a drum sander or a wide belt because it is buttery smooth.

In The Rough

Great service, lightning fast delivery. The only issue I have is that 2 pieces of stock have the banding marks imbedded in edges. I would return if I didn’t live 1000 km away. I still maintain KJP is a great source overall. Thanks. Brad
