Honey Locust on the sawmill. 

Black Locusts & Honey Locust is some beautiful wood…….people completely under value this beautiful wood………I love turning this beautiful wood on my lathe….This wood should be highly prized in my opinion ❤

I always through black locust would make really unusual slabs. Great looking wood and really hard wood. Best firewood you can get.

I just got a bunch of black locust logs like that from a large tree takedown and I cant wait to put it on the mill. I'm enjoying wathcing you saw yours in the meanwhile! thanks for sharing!

Haha, love the "...ohh...WOW" right after you get the slab on the cat. That would be a good end table grain.

Black locust is real pretty wood with the light browns and yellows. Has interesting grain with lots of surprises in it. I’ve made some beautiful cutting boards with it.

The bark will kill a blade fast. All those nooks and crannys hold dirt, rocks and sand too. Still , one of my favorite woods. I cut and use a ton of it. I found an old split rail on the shady side of a barn I was moving. It had been laying there for years. I cut the weathered end off with a saws-all and it was still perfect inside. I probably still have it around here somewhere.

Black locust is hard cutting and very rot resistant multiple times over several decades i have come across guys who confuse honey locust with black locust the color smell and bark is different but some were so adamant i don't argue anymore one asked how do you know well all I could say was when I was a little punk kid in the 70s working in my dads sawmill the old men there said this pile is honey this one is for black you mess it up you get to resort it so if they were wrong I've been wrong for close to 50 years we have always built pallets out of of it i can smell that sawdust from here the black locust dust can cause bad reactions health problems for some people have a day i enjoy your content thank you

ohh, we should get a Middlefield custom sawmill logo onto a bandanna, then you wear that over your nose/mouth to block the sawdust.

Nice wood I love it for ax handles,firewood,fence posts. The smell is something else when you saw it.

VERY nice looking lumber. Good video

The plastic full face shields doctors/nurses wear would really help reduce the saw dust particles from entering your lungs and eyes. Last year I began wearing one when I was snow blowing and the shield stopped snow from blowing into my face. Now whenever I use the snow blower I always wear a face shield.

Those thicker slabs make great benches.

The ( Honey Locust & Black Locust ) was prized wood to the Native Americans…….. They made beautiful handcrafted wooden flutes, Beautiful bows & arrows…… The trees are prized to honey bees nectar ❤

Nice looking slabs! We have what I believe to be black locust fence posts in our woods that I would think have been there around 70 years, tough stuff!

So do I I have a lot of downed timber on my place over in Virginia that I would love to have something done with. A lot of dead ash and other things including Locust. I also have one in my back yard here in Kingsport about 3.5 to 4 feet trunk about 40 feet tall, we could also have cut up.

Lovely superb sawing

Not sure if it's the setting on your video recorder or what but the Black Locus I have seen is a lot lighter in color almost a white. The log you are cutting in this video seems to have a more yellow color more like Osage orange or Bodark, same thing just different names. It is also a very hard wood. My grand parents farm had a lot of black locus on it they were almost impossible to get rid of and would regrow from the stumps if not treated even then it seemed about 50/50 whether or not they would regrow from the stump. They really did not like them sense they had 2.5 to 3 inch long thorns on the limbs and cattle that would get the thorns in them would almost always get the puncture wounds infected. They would also puncture truck and tractor tires as well. What ever type of wood it is it does have some really nice grain patterns in the slabs.

why don't you put a rubber hose extention on the dust chute like i've seen on other woodmizers would help keep a bunch outa your eyes

lower part kinda looks like a rib cage

People always get Honey Locust & Black Locust confused……. Black Locust glows beautiful bright green over Florence light❤

🤩👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

I hope those vines weren't poison ivy. They kinda look like one of the flowering vines which would be MUCH better. 😎

This is not Black Locust……, This is Honey Locust ❤

Looks Like a honey locust to me.
