Got me dumped on that one. Don't recall seeing that bright yellow cambium layer. Here's a young locust . About 25 years old. I left a couple grow when we bought the farm. Been saving them for fence posts if I ever need some.

I was thinking either Honey Locust or Mulberry. I think my Mulberry looked a lot like that.
If it is, the middle will get very dark brown soon.

We used to make sure we went on a week day, not so bad then.
Pretty nifty toilets they have in there! Solar powered and no smell!
IDK Steve,,, not trying to stump ya!!!!! its split and stacked,, ready for next years stash... I remember cutting Locust posts for the porch of my uncles 1700s log cabin, but that was 1975-76!! We'll call it Hackberry til someone proves it wrong??? Unless Hackberry is real stringy???
To me its firewood!!!!
It ain't Hackberry by online pics I saw... I can't seem to find a site that IDs cut logs...
In your first pics it looks like Hackberry. But in your most recents pics, it does kind of look like Honey Locust. Were any thorns found while cutting or splitting? Dead giveaway for Locust.

Seldom right...Always opinionated!
Hedge?
Only thing I noticed were a couple long, thin,, green, stem like branches on a couple of teh logs...no thorns....I though maybe Willow of some kind,,, but pics don't show the yellow cambium layer...
Seems to have yellow core, instead of cambium...

I'd say mulberry from the pictures, bark is wrong for hedge. Just my $.02.
Mulberry also has a yellow core, not cambium,,, Of course, if we can trust these internet pics!!!!

I've cut this stuff before, IIRC,,,
Fresh split just now on mulberry I cut about 2 weeks ago.

Bark looks thicker then mulberry. But might be. Always amazed how mulberry changes from florescent yellow fresh cut to almost dark red when ready to burn.
I dont even go over the mountain on weekends. Traffic sucks .
Thanks Steve,,, doesn't have that bright colored cambium, tho... You can see it on teh first pics I posted(as found),, and on the 2nd pics (just cut/split).. Mulberry seems a bit stringy-er also,, this stuff splits pretty clean... also, my just splt core is tan rather than yellow. like yours...
I looked at Osage also,,, but that may be what is called Hedge in other places??
I did a little more cutting and splitting today, INCLUDING SOME MULBERRY!!!
My pile is starting to grow. Mulberry is very dark when aged, yellow/brown when first cut/split and a small brown center pith.

Didn't do any wood today needed a break . Going to finish up the load in the truck and trailer tomorrow. Going to be to warm next week to cut. Dont want to get stuck in mud . So I'll just concentrate on the rounds and logs here, I may even do some homebrew next week. Going to be 55 ° next Tuesday
Had two at my other house. A black and a white . Berries were great the stains on the walkway and cars not so much . The birds would eat the berry's and poop everywhere. They made nice firewood
