Even ones that have been in ground 30-50 years? I'm replacing mine with T posts, about 2/3rds done and have enough old posts for about 1000 lifetimes of pen turning and any other projects. Looking at the old posts I never would of thought the wood was that pretty.

If you can’t use it all, it’s marketable to wood turners even though it looks bad.
Put it into acrylic and turn it can have amazing results.

These are my McKrosky knives that I specified to be built with Osage Orange laminate.
The pic doesn’t do the color right.

yes. those will tie the wire very tight against the post. it takes a special bit that goes in your drill just push the two legs into the cylinder and the drill catches them twists and cuts off the small ends. they also make a tie that attaches wire to pipe the same way.
Tractor supply?
Edit: I saw the website you posted. I'll get some ordered.
