What happens when nature applies mud curing on Osage Orange? Like Bog Oak, this wood eventually turns black; before that final stage, however, goes through a number of orange-to-green stages. This is only found in a limited area within Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Mr. Paul Veerkamp (shrrkey101@hotmail.com) kindly provided samples from many different logs, at different stages of curing.

We tested chatoyance on these and found that -apparently- the darker the sample, the least its chatoyance.
