[Hearth.com] Black locust jackpot! [Hearth.com] Black locust jackpot! A friend of mine had 2 trees fall on his house.(he's ok). Crane service lifted them off and put them on the curb. All I had to do was busk it up. He even loaded it for me!!!!!! Like the shoes he chose to load in......
 
Nice score...
The shoes...meh??:p
 
That's my kind of deal -- congrats! Boy, do I love Black Locust.
 
Great score! Your buddy looks pissed off, and X2 on the shoes. Maybe safety toe?
 
Sorry for his luck, black locust makes a terrible yard tree. Brittle, heavy limbs break off frequently in storms. I have(had) a yard full of these and experienced this for the past 20+ years. Makes great firewood however and generally very easy to split. Yours looks fairly solid too, not much locust borer rot. Great score.
