I cut this osage from some large, firewood length blocks of wood. I'm hoping to find someone to make me a set of scales for my BK14 in trade for enough wood to make a dozen or so sets of scales. ??? The blocks in the picture are about 2" thick. The picture of Abe was the closest thing I could find for size comparison.
 
It has been air drying in block form for about 4 years. I cut it into blocks with my chainsaw this weekend and cut it down on the bandsaw to about 2" slabs. The block started as a half-round (split the round block in half with a maul 4 years ago) about 18" long. The original block would have been about 18"-20" across. I hauled home a pickup bed full when I got it.
