Got me a genuine 'you suck' score.

[unclemoustache]

Local funeral home offered me a honeylocust tree. Thornless, thankfully!
Their son-in-law (tree service guy) would drop it, I would take all I want, and then they would clean up the rest. This is a block from my house.

The tree was huge - 43" across. I got two smallish trailer loads, but I also have a number of logs for milling. Sheesh, I wish that mill would get here! We've got gobs of logs to mill.

Anyway, here are the pics:


Two trailer loads of firewood about this size:









All wood is stacked and ready for splitting later on. Will work on getting the logs out of there next week.

I'll agree "You suck". Wish I could get a deal like that. But, I'm scared to hang out at funeral homes they might decide to keep me.

Good score! Would love to see how it mills up

Would make some real good fence boards!

Don't know what you have for a mill but thems real heavy logs.

Are you sure about that? I thought honey locust did not fair well in the elements. Black locust is a different story...

And you already marked the size of each log on the pics so you can just drop them on Craigslist with a 40-11 thousand dollar price. Tip: call them rare, highly valuable honey walnut. Or mill them - it's up to you.

No, I am not sure. I worked on a thoroughbred farm in my late teens and early twenties and all our fence boards were "locust". Hard as hell to drive a spiral nail in, but I did not know the difference between honey or black locust back then. Heck, I doubt I knew there was two species at all then.
