According to the Office Québecois de la langue française
Locust (including black locust) is translated as "robinier"

I am at an impasse here.
Many french speaking woodturners in eastern Canada use the expression
"Sauterelle noire to describe Black Locust wood. Other woodworker in France
are referring to "Robinier".
I wonder if we can get a consensus on the common word use among the french
speaking wood turners.
