Never heard them called "hedge apples" before. Thanks Richard for the link. Osage orange as I know them as are generally regarded as one of the finest bow making(as in bow and arrow) woods available as mentioned in the article. IF you can find a straight enough long enough piece for a stave. Most of the ones near me grow all twisted. If you search any of the traditional or primitive archery publications or web sites you will see just how highly regarded this tree is in archery/ bow making circles.
