Care of your Valuable Art piece:
1. The beauty of your art piece will best be maintained by periodically gently removing dust with a very soft brush on a vacuum cleaner, and perhaps occasionally rejuvenating the finish with a very light coat of Howard Butcher Block (a tasteless and odorless mix of food grade mineral oil & natural waxes) or, if it won't be holding food, Howard’s Feed-N-Wax (a blend of beeswax, Brazilian carnauba wax, mineral oil, and orange oil).
2. Your art piece should NOT be displayed in direct sunlight (no wood likes direct sun) because strong light will fade its rich colors.
3. Display this treasure where it will be protected from chemicals and moisture.
4. If you have specific questions, feel free to call or email me: rcpaulson@msn.com
Tree Description:
I like this wood for carving, sculptures, and containers because of it's hardness, grain, smoothness, and overall beauty. Also, the wood is extremely strong, excellent for canes, hiking sticks, and staffs.
It is native to the middle of eastern U.S., but it can now be found in many areas of the country and even in Europe. Some folks like the tree and some hate it. People who have it growing in their yard and don't want it may be able to find a woodworker or arborist who is willing to remove the tree free simply so they can get the wood. Over the years, people have used this wood for Fence posts, railroad ties, insulator pins for power lines, mine timbers, and fuel, in addition to its use by woodworkers for furniture.
In young black locust trees, the bark is smooth and green. In older trees, it's brown and deeply furrowed. The plant's seedlings and sprouts have long paired thorns at the base of each row of leaf stems. The plant's leaves alternate along stems and are composed of seven to 21 smaller, oval-shaped leaf segments, or leaflets. Its flowers bloom in drooping clusters in May and June. Its fruit pods look like pea pods with brown, leathery skin and hold about four to eight seeds.
