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.

Actually it is PADAUK. It is orange wood. It is an exotic imported hardwood. $11 per board foot at my supplier. Amazing wood grain and color! I am really glad I chose to use it on the model. It really pops in combination with the white oak accents.
