I picked up a chunk of wood at the Denver Woodworking show that the seller was calling Orange Agate?
Anyone have any idea what this wood is? I can't find any reference on it.
Orange agate?

Osage orange? What does it look like?

Was this wood petrified?
It is not osage. I also queried in the turners newsgroup. The best response I got from one wood turner is that it is a new wood out of peru.
It is orange with nice grain patterns. They had a couple small turned items out of it that seemed to have kept its color sofar but only time will tell.
Much of their stock was crack> wskossack asks:
Say what you will about petrified wood, it is damn sure dimensionally stable.

Sleep? Isn't that a totally inadequate substitute for caffine?
Could you mean Orange Osage? max
