If you can find a saw that will cut it. Very hard on chainsaw teeth.

Thinking you might be a little bit mixed up possibly..
Black Locust is the absolute best fence post material, second place is Cedar..
I've actually found Mulberry in my wood pile to get punky kinda quick, it does make good firewood though..
Those berries in your picture look like they came from a Turkish Mulberry strain, they have elongated berries like those...

You including Bois de arc? I hear it will wear out a couple fence post holes or something like that [emoji1]
Osage Orange is what it is called here in Kansas. We had fence posts on our farm over 100 years olf and they were hard as a rock. You couldn't drive a nail in them. You had to look for a crack. The farm was sold about twenty years ago but those fence posts are still there. Cutting live trees will gum up whatever you are using. They used to plant them as windbreaks during the dust bowl.
Just an FYI, white vinegar will take out those stains on your hands and clothing. Works on any red/purple/blue berry or grape stains.I had purple stains until they were gone.
We also have Black Walnut trees on our property. I showed my wife how to harvest the nuts one year, but cautioned her to wear thick gloves. She declined my advice. The next day, she had a doctor's appointment, and her hands were as black as coal. I told her to tell the doctor her hands did that when she started taking the medicine he had prescribed.
She said she was going to, but chickened out and wore gloves to the doctor.

Nothing like a little walnut stain.
