Very nice pen and outstanding grain. On the farm, locust was used for fence posts as it was resistant to rot. We had millions of pen blanks on the farm.

You should have grabbed some burls! I wonder what regular locust tree wood looks like...

Nice work!! I coulda used a set when I was making the Vineyard kit from Kalleshaan's the other day.
Same for me in S OK. Black locust, honey locust, and osage orange, aka bois d'arc, aka hedge apple.
I spent a significant part of my youth replacing those old timber posts with metal T-posts. No telling how long they'd been in the ground.

I just recently cut some limbs off of a black locust at my farm. I may have to try to grab some of the larger limbs for pen blanks.

Let me know if you turn one of the branches. I'm curious what it looks like turned.
