I picked up a chunk of wood at the Denver Woodworking show that the
seller was calling Orange Agate?

Anyone have any idea what this wood is? I can't find any reference on
it.

Might be a "salesmen's name" for Osage Orange...a hard wood with strong
color.

How is Osage pronounced? Two syllables with a long O and long A, or 3
syllables with a long O short A and long E, or something I haven't
considered?
Thanks

According to some friends who saw and purchased this wood at another
show, this and another species called "Black agate" are actually new
species from Peru. Sorry, no information on the species names, but
they're apparently legit.

They had some osage but this is orange with interesting grain.

Much of what was being sold was checking in the Denver dry air.
They and one large plank 5 inches thick that I was interested in
until I turned it over and saw some huge checks in the other side.

I ended up with a small log about 6 inches across and maybe 8 inches
high. It was shrink rapped abut I checked it all over for checks
before deciding.

Thanks. I asked around and none of the other vendors had heard of it.

William,

If so, then it IS from Peru like Chuck said.
(I have no connection to West Penn Hardwoods.)
