      Bro, I have been trying to find out the name of that wood for months now. I decided to search through the comments to see if anyone mentioned the name and thank God you did. This is the toughest wood I have worked with. This wood had me sharpening my chain saw every few cuts with a small piece I was working with. I used it to make small tiny strips along some exotic wood on a cutting board. Do you know when I was done its like it was gold metal? It is so beautiful, but chipped my breaker several times, cutting it on the table saw. If you need gold trim around anything this works. I am still in disbelief the colour it gives. Black locust, lol. Wish I could show you the board so you could see the gold coloe it gives.

    I have to pick on the ONLY thing possible for my aesthetics, maybe a little more metal?. This is so sick. I initially thought it was silver or white in the epoxy. I can’t even imagine how you thought this up, but do it again and again. I always like the look of wood, but I’m getting turned into liking the way you did the metal more. It’s hard to stop lauding this.

    Nice desk! Here is an idea for a future project. When you cut the pieces to final arrangement use a flush trim for half of the depth and route the edges by certain amount. That will create a fixed border for each pieces yet meeting at bottom. Now fill that with a resin with some shimmering metallic stuff followed by clear. That should look really awesome I think.

    We have black locust here in Texas. I've probably have cut about 50 cords of it for firewood. It's a pretty wood and makes great firewood. If the black locust trees are close to you, might want to look into getting a honeybee hive. My grandpa has told me that it makes damn good honey. Another tree here is called Osage orange, bodark is another name. It's a pretty wood as well. Downside is, it's heavy.

      The black locust is one of my favorite woods. Very hard, durable, and also beautiful. If it's not used more, it's because the trees don't grow very large, and wide boards can't be obtained from them.

    Looks very nice, but how did you end up getting the various pieces of steel to be perfectly flush with the table top? I'd guess as you sanded, the steel pieces were at slightly different levels resulting in you having to pour resin/sand in such a way that the table top is not perfectly flush.
