Wood ID help

[TwiceWarmed]

Got a load of this stuff, looking for some help with ID, quite heavy.

Thanks for any opinions, seems like a solid hardwood. Wondering for which seasoning pile.

From where I'm sitting it looks like walnut. Does it have a distinct odor? Did you cut the tree?, any nut hulls around?

Looks like black locust. Was it lime green when originally split?

poplar.. not high in BTUs.. seasons fast.. its a good shoulder season wood in spring and fall.. not a wood that I would want to burn in the dead of winter..

Thats locust

Yup Black Locust

 

[Doublebogey]

Definitely locust. I have dealt with tons and tons of it… literally.

Yup Black Locust

The bark looks a little different on the BL here, and the split face looks an unusual color, but that end grain is classic.

Thank u all for the responses, much appreciated. I did not cut down the tree, got it from side of road, people wanted to get rid of it. How long would anyone estimate for Black locust to get under 20 percent? Probably going to season for 18 months, wondering if it needs more than that usually. Upstate NY area.

Here after 24 months it was still 21 pct. I'd go for three summers.

Single-row stack, or several rows stacked together? Good prevailing wind perpendicular to the stacks?
Those splits look fairly small for the most part--might get pretty dry over two summers.
I haven't closely observed how long BL takes, though; Any I've gotten has sat pretty long because I'm several years ahead and not in a rush to burn stuff I've cut recently.

I save BL for the coldest nights. Keep them big. Store them away separated from the average woods. 2 summers stacked loosely.
