Done a lot of natural edge bowls from honey locust, it is really hard stuff but takes a nice finish.
Good job keeping the bark attached

Great job! Locust is a hard wood so I'm sure that wasn't easy.
Thanks for posting your videos here. You're about the only posting anything in the turning forum these days. I haven't turned anything in a while so I haven't had anything to post. Hopefully be back to it soon.

Brutal start-up on that bowl! Nice job throughout, as well. Thanks for sharing.

Only time I saw sparks from a chainsaw was cutting black locust. We had a barbed wire fence with black locust posts in the back yard separating us from the farm behind us. The land owner said his grandfather built the fence 100 years ago. Tough stuff.
