Sorry, first pics made it hard to tell. Yeah, really have to "look" to find osage with much figure. I've still got quite a bit from a tree harvest of several years ago. Had half a p/u truck load of select tight grain, most with some figuring. Only use it on special customs and special request because of this.... (no, not selling any of what I got left).
One of my favorite as-is woods due to it's stability, durability, natural beauty, and....it finishes so nicely when done right.
