It was good to hear from someone on this list.
I've never used the black locust wood but hearing about it brought back a
lot of unpleasant memories.
I lived on 5 and a half acres in Florence, Kentucky about 30 years ago and
there were plenty of black locust trees around. I especially remember the 2
to 4 inch long thorns that went right through my riding mower tires. I also
remember getting stuck with those things and it would temporarily cause a
pain to run from your finger all the way up your arm. I guess the is some
kind of poison in those thorns and they sure hurt.
Again, thanks for the memories. Grin.
Regards, Tom

Subject: [blindwoodworker] Work Bench
I am currently building an adaptive work bench. The primary wood I am
using is Black Locus, also called Black Acaicia. It may be in the top three
of the hardest woods grown in the U.S.
Since I live 200 miles from my shop, it is a slow process getting it done.
We have a second home in the North Carolina mountains and we do plan to move
their. While my business is going good, we will not move.
