HA,,, this ??? caused a bunch of controversy,, didn't want to cause a problem here!!!! I've seen this wood before, split and burned it when I got it... My take is Locust,,, but not Honey Locust, as that has thorns,, no? Gotta go with the guys closest to me,,, I'm sure it looks different in other places... Too bad its winter, no leaves to confirm with... Splits and burns nice as I recall,,, so to me its fire wood!!!
I'll take both please
No worries John. Lot's of of controversy here . Whether it be which whiskey or which guns or cars or maple syrup.
It splits well as long as you hit the exact same spot, otherwise it will start a new straight split, with smaller thorns like a rose stem. Honey on the other hand has a crisscrossed grain to it and the very large thorns.

Mullberry.
, and the difficulty splitting(this was a giveaway).

or not .
Not sure, but I know many a quad tire has been killed by them. I saw a video where the guys burned them off one, must have sprayed the tree down with something
. I liked it .
, but id guess you'd before it made it down, its nasty stuff .
I think that's what black locust do too because you will get pricked by them but they are very little and the bark is all around them so you hardly see them. Gloves aren't a bad idea when handling rounds or splits.
No worries here, that's for sure!!!! its already stacked and will be ready for next year!!!!No worries John. Lot's of of controversy here . Whether it be which whiskey or which guns or cars or maple syrup.
Didn't find any thorns in teh Locust,,, but there was a chunk of wire fence with at least 8 twisted strands in a block of that Cork wood, that didn't show thru the bark at all! I was noodling teh block just to try a chain I just sharpened, and found it half way thru! Had a heck of a time filing a few teeth back to shape!
Oak smells sweet compared to black locust, its also great for getting locust burning well

I’ve cut/split a couple like that before also. I have a small one down right now across my one trail that I dropped to make room for a dead ash I wanted to drop. It’s got thorns all over it. I told the wife her and the kids are gonna have to help clean them up so I don’t pick one up in a tire.
They can get big here in southern PA. This is the tree that brought me to AS a few years ago.
Looks good!
