Black Locust

(1/1)

clintw864:
Black Locust, sapwood on or off?

RidgeRunner:
OFF. 
If the stave is not completely dry the back and ends will have to be sealed after the sapwood is removed.

Pappy:
I'm no expert on BL[or anything else for that matter] but I think you treat BL like you would
Osage,Take the bark off then the sap wood and chase a ring at least that is the way I have
done it. :)

snedeker:
You can debark and then dry BL with the sapwood on and it will not check as osage does, then take it off when dry.
