[QUOTE="woodshop, post: 468237, member: 5248"] Whether locust wood is "good lumber" or not depends on what you want to do with it. It is hard and dense. I have made cutting boards from it, but it has a greenish brown color, and that makes it not as appealing for furniture. It is extremely rot resistant. Like osage orange, I have used it on the bottom of picnic tables where there is ground contact, and it lasts forever even in moist soil that way. What you are planning to do with it thus determines how you will mill it. [/QUOTE]
