| Well WE think that; "If WE knew half as much as half of us already know.... Then the half that WE knew know only half as much as the rest of us already know, will still, only know half of what the rest of us, who knew twice as much, knew before we met the half who knew only half of what we know, will have to learn twice as much"
Yep One half smart bunch we got here. I like the whole Silk thing myself. Just tryin to catch up on the Half of the stuff I don't know. Getting my fair share right here! Just Gotta Love it.
Never doubted Yaz for a minute.... And I plan to use this Silk reference at work! Just as soon as this sort of a "woodworkers trivia informational sharing opertunity" presents itself!
I sure hope someone finds my posts as humorous as I think they are while typing them out?

I think I find your post as funny as you think it is, it took me half an hour to decipher the logic, then I realized I was in a state of mesmerization sort of like the AFLAC Duck listening to Yogi Berra exclaiming that "cash is just as good as money", did you just say "silk is just as good as nylon when it comes to AAA spruce"?
That's funny to me!! |

| "Silk is just as good as Cash" !
Yeah I like my stab at a "half baked" logic droodle, but
Bilbo Baggins said it best at his eleventy one'th birthday party.
Osage Orange???? sounds interesting. is it actually wood? Where would one find an Osage Orange?
What was this thread about?? Ohh yeah I got in because I was considering buying Our very own Mr. Woody's country artist. Which looks, by the way, to have a nicely done refinish job on the top!
Nice to bid on members items, wish you had offered it here this week. Would have made a nice neat deal for us both.
No matter
Thanks just the same for the auction.

It is common in the east/mid west along road sides and farmland and used as hedgerows or barriers. They produce a non edible fruit that looks like a big green brain. A very beautiful, orange/yellow colored, hardwood and especially so quarter sawn.
Here's a washed out image of Osage orange |

| That is interesting! Like that Osage Orange! Takes that Yellow/Orange stain quite well! Would love to see it in person, photo's never do wood grain justice.
I have a few nice blocks of Shagbark Hickory I have been saving along with some Black Walnut & various natural treasures I have found here in the Adirondacks. Nice to see the Guitar made from the Shagbark! Never considered using it for a luthier project.
So much to learn so little time.

I am a sucker for the African Sapele - silk or no silk! Some of the veneers I have garnished are really cool. It's the cheap way of seeing them!

Osage Orange is known for it's properties as a great bow wood (as bow and arrow) I believe it was a source of the great long bows of midevel Britain's success. |

| Interesting, perhaps it would be good for neck material as well as a figural body wood?
