QS osage orange
Quick note: We have had a few instrument makers ask us for quarter sawn osage. Osage twists so much in growth that it is difficult to get a nice long QS piece. However, with our last log, we gave it a try by cutting some 3" slabs and I think there are at least a couple guitar necks in these billets. Not dry, but air drying osage is easy: very little movement. The best pieces will probably be A+ priced, which is $7/bf.
