Growth rings on the end remind me of Black Locust. But the stuff I split last week was a little more "highlighter yellow" on the inside. Of course I am sure Black Locust here looks a little different than Black Locust there.

And we have a winner! Yes, it's Black Locust.

I say BL also. Its true,the same species of wood can vary a bit in color when growing in different locations.Different soils,sunlight,amount of precipitation in a year etc.All are factors which determine the end result.
 
Wood looks like BL to me also, bark is a little off but that varies by age/location etc.

Ok its has been split for a week now lost a little of the flare if you will.
Knew it was locust didn't know it was black locust.
 
One more vote for Black Locust. Furrowed bark and yellowish wood both match the Black Locust around here.

I wouldn't have thought BL because of the bark looks way different to me also. You'll know if its honey locust or not!
