[QUOTE="Wood Doctor, post: 5672063, member: 20385"] It can be processed into wood for decks, but it's best to have a sawmill rip it to thickness and shoot for quartersawn boards. I used quartersawn white oak, random widths, for my deck floor and it worked very well. However, you have to drill it and use screws. Locust would act about the same. Tough, dense stuff and very good rot resistance, I'll never forget carrying those 5/4 quartersawn boards up the deck stairs. [/QUOTE]
