I live in Terre Haute, Indiana.

The wood that they make fence posts (back in the olden days) was locust. It seemed to have a purple, tint to it. It gets incredicably hard, so hard it is killer on chain saws.

Anyone can help me on this wood?

Yes it is locust but the harding takes a while also it does'nt rot all that fast I think it was black locust .If you need more info I can look it up in one of my books hope this helps....Ray
 
I have always wanted to build a cue out of Black Locust wood but I have not been able to find any for sale. :)

I made a cue out of Honey Locust (Thorn tree) and love it. It is a beautiful reddish color with nice grain and very hard, much like Black Locust.
I don't recall seeing any Locust with a purple tint as Ken mentioned.

Wanna work together on a cue?

Mr. Wadsworth,

I have put a deposit on a John Showman cue, but it has a 5 year wait. Working with Ron Hailey on cue for Christmas for me.

If you would be interested in building me a cue, let me know what your delivery schedule current is at.

Thanks
Ken

Depending of the complexity of the cue - 6 weeks to 6 months. Please call me and I will be happy to work with you to build a cue to meet your needs and desires.
