If the wood is osage orange, you may not want to use it for plugs. Reall hard and heavy stuff.

Sorry it took soooo long to respond, just got back from a 2 week bow hunt in pike county Illinois, this is where I learned about osage orange trees or hedge as they are called out there, this wood is about as hard as wood gets, when you cut it it drips out a white sap that is hard to get off your hands, also if you get the dust in your eyes it burns, I am told if you burn it in your wood stove it will melt the steel. They use it for fence posts out there as it actually gets harder when it ages, & has a post life (buried in the ground ) of 30 yrs.

I'll take a picture of the Osage trees in my yard one is over 200 years old.When you burn its like the 4rth of July crackle and pop its a fireworks show.
