the other day i was clearing out some pasture and cut a nice straight trunk out of a hedge tree (osage orange)and wondered how it would work for marine applications. we use it here for fire wood and fence posts but milling it is fairly uncommon since it can be pretty tough to find a long straight section. being that it is very uncommon, it is obviosly not a practical choice but it is hard and very rot resistant so i thought i would ask just for grins.
thanks |

The OO would be a great wood to use due to it's rot resistance however, it's heavy and as you mentioned, it's does "go all over the place" when dried. That's probably why you only see it used for small "crafty" projects with shorts lengths. |
