A friend took down this tree and said I could take what I wanted. He said on the phone this was locust but it isn't. Any help would be appreciated. I don't have pictures of the leaves unfortunately.

Thanks in advance for the replies!

Looks like it could be Honey Locust to me, definitely not black locust. Is the grain a little pink? Hard to tell from the photos.

Honestly I wouldn't have described it as pink. Looks like the same color as White Ash to be honest, but it clearly isn't ash.

Better give that a couple of years to season. Honey Locust is usually salmon (pink) in color when fresh cut & split.

Size of the spikes would give it away if they are still around.

Not all honey locust will have thorns. and this is 100% honey. 2-3 years and will be gold.

Honey locust.

There is the thornless variety but the wood is different versus the spiked variety. Thornless way different than Black Locust.

Definatly honey locust. This is what it looks like after almost 2.5 years css and it all metered under 20% this past winter when I burned some of it.
