Bark inclusions. Some live edge.
Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) is a hard, strong hardwood native to the central and eastern United States, and one of the most durable woods in North America.The heartwood is greenish-yellow to golden brown when fresh, mellowing to a medium brown with age, and the sapwood is a narrow pale band. The grain is usually fairly straight with a medium texture. It's durable, rot-resistant and fairly stable, which makes it one of the best native woods for outdoor use.Its hardness makes it a little more work to machine, so keep tools sharp and pre-drill for fasteners. It finishes well and weathers to an attractive silver grey if left outdoors.Black Locust fence posts are famous for lasting decades in the ground, and the wood has a long history in shipbuilding, where it was used for wooden pegs called trunnels. It's a great choice for fencing, outdoor furniture, decking, flooring, raised garden beds and handles. We stock it in 4/4 and 8/4, and quality varies, so choose your pieces carefully.
