I absolutely love black locust. It grows wild on the west side of the Cascades in Washington. I have had some milled up from time to time. I'm out right now 😢 It is VERY hard wood...maybe even tougher than hickory to work. You will need VERY sharp tools to work it ..saw blades, router bits...all of it. It sands ok, but needs a lot of love, like maybe up to 320-400grit. Once there, just about any topical finish will work, but it doesn't take stain well at all. Why stain? It is absolutely gorgeous wood. I hope you have fun with it. One caution...it will darken with age much faster than most. Maybe even faster than cherry. When it does it gets to be a kind of muddy dark brown. I have used water-borne polys with a UV protection added to best effect.

Hi Skyler, I do like the wood. I’m lucky that I have a good supplier nearby in the UK with all sorts of hardwood easily obtainable. We don’t have many suppliers here compared to the US. I am going to order from Ocooch also because they will ship it to the UK. You have inspired me with woodworking, my family is suffering a lot of gifts which they say they like. ( they are polite)

We have tons of black locust where I live and the insides are usually always bright yellow. Very hard wood when cured. I'm curious to see what Carla does with it. Whatever it is I'm sure it will be nice.

The piece you are describing at 3:54 looks like a piece of Myrtle wood... Good stuff, only grows on the southern Oregon Coast, and is an absolute treat to work with and very uncommon outside of that region. It finishes up with lots of silvers and golds in color, and makes absolutely stunning bowls. Pretty uncommon to find in slabs like you have unless you know somebody at the coast or are a patient detective. BTW: Myrtle rhymes with Turtle - you threw me off there a bit.
