I agree that that looks like black locust to me as well. I had some oak sawn for some boat ribs and the guy with the saw mill gave me a couple boards that he said were black locust. They made some really pretty shelves for my dads kitchen.

Yeah, that's locust alright. Best firewood out there. Only thing hotter is coal!

Hard on a chain tho. Especially if you find one 75 years old and 12" diameter on a rocky ridge.  :)

It is some crazy good burning wood.  Don't think either me or the father in law knew what it was.  I got it in log sections and the bottom of the tree is about 10-12".  When I went to cut it I thought I may have had a dull chain on at first.  Nope cut through the maple like butter.   I wish I had more of this stuff, it burns so hot and long.  Even my ash pan was glowing orange. 


Thanks for all the input fellas, I appreciate it!
