Jason,

Why don't you get a nice chunk of concrete and turn that instead of black locust? It would be easier than locust and you would feel better about the condition of your turning tools when get through it. :-}}}}}

I have been trying but I can't find any without rebar in it. I thought about just trying to turn it anyway and leave the rebar in for decoration. Seriousy, this Black Locust has not been hard to turn at all. I keep my tools sharp and it cuts very consistently. The only trouble is with my Fisher Price band saw refuses to cut a bowl blank out of it. It actually refuses to even lop the corners off of it.
