Dugz Ink Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I saw another post about using wood from Olive trees, and that made me think... When I was a scoutmaster, living in Missouri, we made bows (for archery) out of Osage Orange... also known as Hedge Apple. (That link has numerous other links, including one to an acoustic guitar that was made (partly) out of Osage Orange.) Has anybody tried building an electric guitar with it? If so, what tone do you get from it? Just curious. D~s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rradams Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Hi Dugz Ink, I have some that has been thru the kiln but I haven't used it yet on a guitar. It is pretty dense and is very yellow in color. Almost golden. It will require the right design to carry the rather bright color. I have worked wit it a little and it does machine well... router, drilling sawing etc. I'd be interested in knowing if anyone has tried a guitar out of it yet.
