They say that a black locus fence post will last 70 years without any treatment.

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.

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.
