Had a friend of mine give me a few pieces of black locust wood. This is the hardest wood I've ever turned but the grain in this this wood is amazing and the bowl turned out great.
Good job! I just got a (metal working) mini lathe this past week and look forward to turning some small bowls. So far I have made some handles for Japanese knives which I restore. Thanks, enjoyed it.
Tried and True Original + Black Locust = Awesome! Good looking crotch bowl!
Yeah tried and true is good stuff. Thanks for watching!
fabulous grain and cool shape.
Great 👍 job. I've got some honey Locust wood 🪵 from my tree 🌳 can't wait to put it on the lathe I have to wait for it to dry out.
Bowl turned out beautiful. I have never had the opportunity to turn black locust maybe someday
I had never even heard of black locust but a friend of mine has a lumber mill set up on his farm and had a few pieces he gave me.
this bowl is stunning, i love the shape!
Beautiful grain. Lovely bowl!
Thanks so much!

I’ve been thinking about getting a metal mini-lathe, think that would be great to turn some small parts.
Lovely work. I really like seeing a younger guy using the HSS and carbide interchangeably. Too many purists out there.
I prefer to use HSS most of the time but I’ve found the harder woods I have an easier time using carbide.
