Where to buy 1/4" thick osage?
« on: December 02, 2013, 03:01:00 PM »
Hey guys.
Any of you know where to buy a good straight grained piece of osage about 1/4" thick x 72" or so for a tri lam?

I know pine hollow has good osage that's 5/8" thick.
Problem is I don't have a band saw and I'll just end up wasting/sanding 3/8" away.

You might try a lamination grinder. There are a few here on TradGang or maybe try Bingham Projects.

Just sent Kenny an email.
Thanks for the idea.
Didn't think he did stuff like this but doesn't hurt to ask I guess.

Kenny has cut me some 1/8 osage lams before, no reason he couldn't make them thicker.
