[QUOTE="Jimfound, post: 622972, member: 12654"] Back in the day they used locust for the prow of ships due to its resistance to rot. As for baseball bats, I don't know. Maybe too brittle. Ash is used for baseball bats because it has the right mix of hardness and flexibility. The Elm I recently cut down is some of the hardest wood I have come across...not sure what species of ELm it is but super dense and hard wood. I have Locust too. What about Hophornbeam? I believe it is also known as Ironwood...must be a reason..although I've never burned or chopped any. [/QUOTE]
