    Joe,
    It may be honey locust but I'm not sure. What I am sure of is you've got a real winner there!!!!

    Very nice NE Joe! Sure like the color and grain of the wood. Hopefully someone will be able to ID it for you!

    Looks good!! Looks like good ol' oak to me... but then I am pretty bad at IDing wood. I have turned some Elm that had a similar grain pattern but the color is not the same, of course that varies a lot too and the elm doesn't hat the "flecks" on the QS edges like that either.

    Beautiful curve Joe. I really like the total effect. Gotta try one of those NE when I get some more green work under my belt. If you've seen any of my posts, most everything I have that's not labeled is dunno!
