Uses for thorny sticks?

I need some creative suggestions, please. I need to cut down several Osage Orange saplings, with wood ranging from pencil-thick to a couple inches in diameter and thorns about the length of my fingernail. The wood is hard and strong, and historically used for making bows, hence the French name bois d’Arc (bow-wood) aka bodark. I could strip the thorns off and make all sorts of things, but I have plenty of plain boring sticks already. What can I weave, carve, construct, or create that uses or highlights their beautiful stabbiness?

The first thing that comes to mind is making a deer proof fence.

Sorry if that is not very creative.

Make brush dams if you have a creek or stream.

A low wattle fence might keep rodents out of a building.

A matt of thorny branches would dissuade cats from using your garden beds as a potty box.

I have a trifoliate orange tree and all it produces is thorny branches.
They are so hazardous I actually put them in the garage, but I would love it if they had other uses.
I have thought they could be cool for lost wax casting.
Weave them into a crown of thorns maybe?
The thorns themselves could be fasteners, but harvesting and using them seems dangerous.
Everything else I can think of is some way of weaponizng them.

Needles for leather working and sewing.

Another thought: substitute for barbed wire in earthbag construction.
