Yes Sir!

Orange wood.
Never heard of it, but then again too - I am not a real "timber" kind of guy.
It is definitely pretty wood... Wonder how it grows?
I did a quick search and it seems that guitars are made out of it.
Osage Orange is a really durable wood. Not sure if that is the same or not.

Osage is grown in US and is more yellow in color from pictures i saw online. Padauk is from Africa. Very hard wood. My scroll saw blade struggled to cut the 7/8" thick segment for the car. The thinner segments were not so bad.
