Black Locust
My nephew wanted some timber to make some special guitar sort of instruments. My brother still had a heap of Black Locust in his firewood pile including some large branches (I took the burls last trip ). So decided to cut him some freehand slabs plus some for turning blanks for myself. Some were forks plus a lot of fiddle grain.

Thats a beautiful wood. Is there a reason why is isnt commonly sold? Is it a native?

Black Locust
Robinia pseudoacacia, it is what the "moptop" is grafted on to. Why the heck they still allow it to be sold here beggars belief. The issue with it is it sends out runners that then shoot to become new trees. It is fast growing and hard to get rid of. I have one available to me when I get to it. Need to take precautions when cutting it though as Peter said.
