Osage Orange lumber source

[Old Axeman]

Anyone have a source for Osage Orange lumber ? I have a project that I need a small bowl blank of a certain size and I have used up all that I brought with me when I left Montana 13 years ago. I have looked on line to no avail.
Thanks for looking

Never done business with these guys, but Cook Woods might have what you need. No idea if the prices are reasonable either.

Around here we just cut one down and take it to the closest sawmill. Most of this is Osage, if not all of it. It don’t rot like regular wood.

Ebay, search Osage bowl blanks.

Thanks for the suggestions. Gary, I found a EBAY seller that had exactly what I needed, and 2 other sticks of Osage that I could not live without. His EBAY name is "treekiller20" -- how perfect is that !
I am ready now to carve some more bowls with the ETSY carving hatchets and bowl adzes I bought from STRONGWAY TOOLS in Ukraine, these are really great tools.
Many years ago I listened to a radio program--The Rest of The Story-- by Paul Harvey. Paul said that a guy should die with at least 200 unfinished projects. I am now close to having that covered.

Woodcraft has them I think.

The last time I bought an Osage stave I think the going rate was 60- 80 bucks. Inflation kind of took me by surprise while I searched Osage on ebay.
I have only seen a handful of Osage trees here in Idaho, quite rare. I bet there isn't Osage suitable to cut in the whole state let alone one that you could get permission to cut.

Bell Forest Products has sent me Osage orange, and it's wonderful.
