Tree Identification

[NatureMan000]

Need help with identifying this tree.
I have split it and wood tends to be on the heavier side, yellowish in color with brownish rings also a little stringy.
Bark was easy to remove and pretty smooth to split in splitter. Larger diameter logs showed some signs of difficulty.
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Locust?

 

[NatureMan000]

That was my thinking but haven't convinced myself

Got any leaves for id?

 

[NatureMan000]

No all leaves have fallen. I will be back in woods on Monday where I will take pics of the limbs.
How

However the limbs do not start till about 20 to 30 feet from trunk

Bark and your description say black locust to me.

Can you show us a split. When you say "yellow," I think mulberry.

I agree, from the description it sounds like black locust.

It looks like locust, once it seasons if it's as hard as stone you will know for sure.

Unfortunately it is BL. I will gladly take it from you as no cost. I'm also in NJ.

Black locust . . . but I'm better at tree identification with leafs.

Thank you everyone for your help. I do believe it's BL and with the concensus from the feedback I will continue to do that.
Thanks again.
