Wood density? Black vs Honey Locust

[gobbler74]

Both make great strikers. Like all calls its just what you match them on

Theres a huge Honey locust tree in my mother in laws back yard,,,,If we ever have it cut down would the wood be useable to any of you call makers?When i say huge i mean the base of the tree is probaly 4' in diameter.

This is an excellent thread. I have used both as many have said and the Black Locust has been my favorite. I am fortunate to have plenty of sources around here, I love the black locust for strikers and if it has some burling in it, it can make a killer pot. I have use honey locust for a paddle or two and it matches well with Alaskan cedar or Sassafrass.
