Pulled some black locust out of the woods....

....out of the woods here at work(hospital). A homeowner threw these over a short fence onto hospital property at least a year ago (maybe 2 years). I forgot about it then, and just saw it was still there this morning. Its not the biggest score ever, but nice, solid, free black locust is always welcome in my yard. BTW, it was on the ground for a long,long time...and all the wood is SOLID...no rot at all. The bark fell right off, but Id rather leave that in the woods than at my house, anyway.

Nice Score...Now all you have to do is split & stack it.

Locust is very rot resistant- one of the reasons it is prized for fence posts. Nice score.

The beauty of that score is you were there anyway, no muss, no fuss, no gas, and great wood.

Yeah...that is my ONLY complaint with locust...that huge pile of bark left over.

Nice score!! Great wood for those cold night.

I got a batch of deadwood Locust recently and it looked just like your stuff. No bark on mine either. The base rounds were all curved and sculpted like yours. Split like a dream and was nice and dry to begin with. I'll definitely plan on burning it around mid-winter this coming season. Nice score!

No matter that there was not a huge pile. Even that little bit will help out greatly. Save them until January 31.....or thereabouts.
