I got access to some already felled trees for a construction job, and here are some photos of a tree I can't quite identify. Ideas?

Thanks.

Looks just like the HL I have in the stacks for next season. I hear it is great stuff and can't wait to confirm.
 
Honey Locust. This is the only type of wood that stopped my splitter in its tracks. It's as heavy, if not heavier, than Oak.
 
Honey Locust for sure; could tell that without even clicking on the pics.

Decent wood, splits moderately easy if it's not a yard-tree, seasons about like oak (slow)
 
HL, 3 yrs to season minimum!! After that watch out.....

Maybe dead will be ready in 2 yrs. There's been a dead one at my buddy's house that I've been meaning to get, but I waited too long. Now he's got a dead Sycamore too, so I'll have to take that as well. ;lol
