Clavico,

welcome to the forum, we trust this is the first of many posts.

I do like the shape of this piece, it looks like it would nicely settle in your hand.

Could you expand on the description of the wood, Locust?, is that Black locust (Robinia) or some other wood by that name please.

Hello and thanks for the comment. It is black locust (Robinia), a tree which I think was brought to Germany from North America.
