I feel like I'm running out of time... to get castings off the Osage Orange "fruits", or seed pods, or whatever these wonderful green objects are. I've been drawn to their color and especially the surface texture, which varies widely. There is a OO tree a few blocks north of our home, and on our walks we find them "littering" the ground in late fall. This tree produces globes about 4-6" in diameter. Some have said they're often used to ward off spiders from the dank basements; they do indeed put off a significant citrus smell.
In any case, I've been planning on using them as models to produce castings for insetting into furniture.. but they're starting to deteriorate from the inside out. Hopefully I can get some molds made this weekend.
