Old farm house put a sign out on front drive thankfully rather than through CL, so I had a week to myself and made 8 trips with my tiny Nissan. Anyway I got at least 2 cords of 2yo rounds, started with the Locust first and then got other stuff. I had never experienced Locust before this as apparently none of my wood suppliers included it, perhaps it was for their own consumption.

and here is a bit of split Locust.

Really fun stuff to split.

Any idea what those big rounds on the right are ? Splits real easy with kinda brown wood, looks like nice stuff also.
 
Good score and I'll guess on them big rounds White oak
 
Black Locust is not common in the middle of the woods, and I think most log suppliers are cutting mainly from the middle of the woods, therefore you don't see a lot of Black Locust in log loads. It's not that Black Locust is rare, just that it tends to grow in the open, not in the woods. Especially as a seedling, Black Locust needs sunlight. Around here you can look through thousands of acres of forest and get the impression that we don't have Black Locust, but then look along any fenceline, highway edge, or old pasture and get a completely different impression.
