Steaming, was found to be a useful treatment for color modification and homogenization of black locust wood. Meanwhile, steaming significantly affected the measured properties, as considerable decrease in resis
Likewise, these properties were highly correlated with the specific gravity of wood samples. Based on these results, it is concluded that either the density of fresh wood or the specific gravity of air-dried wood can be used to estimate the mechanical properties of black locust wood based on ...

For the distribution of almost all analysed black locust wood properties significantly differed from the normal one (Shapiro–Wilk test), we used Kruskal–Wallis non-parametric alternative for analysis of variance as well as post-hoc Mann–Whitney paired comparisons to determine the effect of the ag...
Black locust (endgrain 10x) Black locust (endgrain 1x) Porosity: ring porous Arrangement: earlywood in rows two to three pores wide, latewood in clusters and tangential bands Vessels: large in earlywood, medium in latewood; tyloses abundant Parenchyma: vasicentric and aliform Rays: ...
As a largely exotic species with multiple uses internationally, black locust requires various management strategies to on a regional basis [52,61]. For example, in Europe, the species is regarded as a serious invasive species, as well as important wood product [44]. In North America and East...
Thus, growing black locust in a plantation setting may affect ground-water recharge and the local water budget. However, its ability to grow under adverse edaphic conditions plus other traits not studied here (such as high wood density and rot resistance) makes it a suitable species for ...
As a boyer we make bows out if Black Cherry wood. No problem with shock, it’s all in the design. Use the heart wood for more strength. The water damage is more of a concern. 4 Reply Mark B Reply to Chase Renner 3 years ago Black locust might be a good option. It’s plen...
A method of controlling the bulk or pour density of carbon black without altering its rubber reinforcing properties, by wet micropulverizing prior to pin mixing.
s popularity among woodworkers in the United States. Its good working characteristics, coupled with its rich brown coloration puts the wood in a class by itself among temperate-zone hardwoods. To cap it off, the wood also has good dimensional stability, shock resistance, and strength properties....
