$\"\"$

Honey Locust Front<\/p><\/div>\n

The bowl is relatively small at 7.25 inches in diameter and 1.50 in depth. The wood was dense and hard which allowed for very clean cuts with little need for heavy clean up sanding. There are some interesting mineral stains in the wood which show as black streaks. I don’t know what caused them but I have seen them in other woods as well.<\/p>\n

The bowl was easy to turn and the wood has a delightfully spicy and sweet smell when freshly cut.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$

Honey Locust Reverse<\/p><\/div>\n

The bowl was turned on my American Beauty lathe<\/a> from Robust Lathes of Wisconsin<\/a>. Cuts were made with Easy Wood Tools<\/a>. Sanding was done with sanding discs from Packard Woodworks<\/a>. The final finish is ShellaWax from Australia<\/a>. These are my favorite and go-to tools and supplies for most all of my wood turning projects. All are highly recommended.<\/p>\n

The wood most commonly known and sold as Honey Locust comes from the tree known botanically as Gleditsia triacanthos.<\/p>\n
