That's Black Locust alright. My lot I cleared had mostly Black Locust trees on it. Make awesome firewood and burns really nice. Cutting it up especially the larger trees is like cutting concrete. I've never cut wood that sparks are from it because its so hard of a wood. Splits pretty nice but I can fit large pieces in my stove so most of the time I leave it whole.

Honey Locust has large thorns on the trunk and Black Locust has thorns in the foliage.

Locust...

A very heavy and dense wood...that burns FANTASTICO when it is dry....
Next to oak it is the best...


Have a ton in my woods ...

Make sure it is fairly DRY... or it will leave large coals and suffocate your fire...

Happy Burning...
