Osage Orange often called Osage, Bodark, or Bois d’Arc Premium Turning Blank
Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera) is one of North America’s most durable and vibrant hardwoods, prized for its brilliant golden-yellow color, extreme hardness, and outstanding stability. Known by many names—Osage, Bodark, Hedge, or Bois d’Arc—this legendary wood has been used for centuries for bows, tools, and fine craftwork due to its exceptional strength and longevity.
This premium Osage turning blank offers a tight, even grain and a dense, smooth texture that turns beautifully with sharp tools. Freshly cut, Osage displays an electric yellow color that slowly matures into deep golden brown tones, giving your finished piece a rich, natural elegance. It sands cleanly, polishes to a glossy finish, and takes oil incredibly well, enhancing its natural chatoyance.
Osage Orange is famous for its rot resistance, dimensional stability, and extreme durability, making it a favorite for pens, knife handles, game calls, bobbins, tool handles, small bowls, and long-lasting heirloom-quality projects. Few woods match its combination of beauty, strength, and long-term performance.
