it is not locust, I have just cut up some locust next to this tree, and there is a big difference. there is a smell to it and it does not stink at all but actually smells good in away. It grows straight and tall with hardly any brush. it has thorns on the new growth but those thorns turn into branches. No thorns what so ever on the trunk. the bark is thick not thin like locust bark.

the more I think about it, the honey locust is what has thorns on it. The black locust doesnt have thorns on it right. And this stuff is sprouting out of the ground like a weed, that is what the land owner is telling me, and I can see that. maybe it is black locust.

Black Locust has a very thick and rugged bark...Thorns on the small branches...Usually not a lot of limbs, more small branches...Just took pictures of the two pieces I have left at the house...Came off the fence row I mentioned earlier, trying to weed out the bad first, so they are not the best ones to take pictures of...

Well, its definitely not honeylocust.

Does black locust have thorns? I didnt think so.

Burr oak has thick bark like this, as well as brown heartwood.

Black Locust for sure!!!

I have lived in a woods for fifteen years that is mainly a black cherry and black locust thicket. I am sure that is black locust. That is a great firewood. Only bad things are there often is alot of rot from borers and the bark is thick. Those last pictures that show the bark side show some of the rot that is seen from the end of cut. Locust splits easily, burns hot and long, seasons quickly, and has a long shelf life. Congratulations on a great find. I have been cutting red maple and black cherry this weekend from hurricane Ike that is not nearly as good a wood as what you got. Tony

Looks like it might be burr oak. there is a lot of that in sw iowa. pretty good wood 26 million BTU/cord

I agree, but go and look for leaves and nuts.
