I am starting a timber frame project in which I will using woods primarily from my farm. From my reading, locust was often used as peg material. I do not have any locust on the property, although I am sure I can obtain some.
Has anyone used Eastern Hophornbeam for pegs? Not the smooth barked American Hornbeam (or muscle wood), but rather the denser, scaley barked hophornbeam.
Thanks
