RE: [nafex] Osage orange
What
about the ash trees, green or white? They are used in baseball bats, and I
have several in my landscape where the trunk is definitely straight as a
arrow.

Hi all:
Osage orange is commonly used
for custom knife handles for all the
reasons mentioned.
A couple
more possibilities would be walnut and Corylus colurna var.
lacera (aka
Corylus jaquemontii). Corylus, filberts, throw many
suckers that meet
the dimensional specifications. The specimens of
jaquemontii that I
have seen have a distinctive "muscle" look. It is
similar to
hop-hornbeam but different.
And then there is always
bamboo.
