So in Lebanon, Ohio, Orange Osage is a very common tree. You can find them all over and all you have to do if you aren't sure is look for the fruit. Whilst coming back from my canoeing trip with Sarah's father, we came across a man felling a tree in his front yard.
I said, "HIT THE BRAKES!"
Sarah's father said, "What!! What is it?"
I said, "I'll be right back."
I noticed the fruit all around the tree. I asked the man, "are you cutting down an Orange Osage?"
He said, "Yeah... so?"
I said, "Do you mind if I take a few pieces with me?"
He said, "Not at all. Grab all you want."
So, I grabbed a few BIG logs of it and threw them in the back of Sarah's dad's truck. It was a trick getting all of them in Sarah's little Honda Civic along with all of our stuff for the trip home, but I did it. Now I've got a buttload of knife handles waiting to be shaped out of logs.
Here are some pictures. I also grabbed some of the fruit for pictures. Some people have never seen the fruit of that tree before and it looks crazy. It's like a tighly wound green brain or a grapefruit sized lime with genital warts. Anyways, here ya go.
