Thanks again to the war on trees here in CT , I was able to pick up a bunch of Black Locust close to home.

Nice score. Those look like some monster straight logs.
As an aside, it just kills me when I see sawlog-sized black locust being used as firewood. I save every bit I can for "outdoor lumber'' - fence posts, boards for raised garden beds, bench slats, etc.

I understand your point and wish I had the equipment to make some lumber for BL. I have done much research on using BL for a deck project.
These trees were dropped by Asplundh clearing some local roads power-lines. I cut double length so I can load and get offsite ASAP.
This wood will sit and wait until I finish up with my other stash of Black birch, Ash and maple. One thing I love about BL besides burning it, is I do not have to hurry up and get it split and stacked.
I cut them 34"-36" this allows me to load them vertical in my truck, I can increase my load size this way and also cut and get off site quicker. When I am scronging it is importatant to me to some time get loaded and out ASAP so I can do more trips.
I live in the Farmington River Valley northwest of Hartford, I understand Black locust is found near water.
