Honey Locust.....oak harvest

[Wildwoods]

Hello all! I am new to the forums and have been reading and learning non stop from all the vets and newbs alike.
I've been cutting my own for a small insert for a few years now but plan on buying a nice new woodstove when we move in August. With that in the back of my mind I've been more particular in my wood choices and length of cuts. I came across a decent amount of the following yesterday and was very pleased to find what I think is honey locust and some kind of oak...lol
I'm familiar with letting them season and know that I won't get a chance to burn these next season but maybe the season after.

Both seem to be fast growing so I’m not thinking any oak in the bunch

Honey and a maple species

The last three pics look like Norway maple.

I thought this to be the oak. I have another few logs that I thought were maple. A friend took down about 15 trees. I'll try and post those later on.

 

[Dima1973]

This doesn't look like locust, I would go with maple

 

[Wildwoods]

The first few pics? Wow I was sure I got that one right

 

[hickoryhoarder]

First looks like honey locust. The other tree looks like maybe maple?

first 3 - mulberry
Very good firewood. Its bright yellow will quickly season to a dark brown.

Just googled mulberry and the pics look almost identical to some of the honey Locust pics.
Both are good woods for the stove so I'll let my Drolet tell the difference.
Thanks folks

Honey Locust is salmon colored on the inside, Black Locust has a yellow tint to it. Both types of Locust are great firewood. Mulberry makes great heat also. You have a nice score there.

Good ID, Mulberry and Maple you have there.

The first one looks like locust. I burn a lot of it, great firewood. Second one, I don't know, but it is not oak.

 

[Wildwoods]

Mulberry is correct. It deff had the milky sap when I cut it. Tks

 

[heavy hammer]

A nice score locust is a very good firewood. the other stuff I'm not sure doesn't look like oak but it's free.

Mulberry and some maple

I was going to say mulberry and maple but I'm late to the party.

The bar is still open lol!

Photos of leaves would help make a more positive id. Honey locust is characterized by long thorns growing from the trunk. Bottom line is that both are hardwood, will burn (if properly dried), and produce heat. What more do you need? I wouldn't worry about what species of wood it is.

 

[Woody5506]

Also was gonna say mulberry and maple...and for that matter, it would make a perfect mix in the stove.

 

[Stinkpickle]

Give that mulberry plenty of time to dry. It’s good stuff.

 

[PA. Woodsman]

There's no doubt whatsoever in my mind that it is Mulberry not Locust, and it will prove it to you as it dries, the yellow ends will turn color and become reddish brown. Very good fuelwood but like Stinkpickle says it needs time to dry out.
