Agree. Nice score. Lot that BL and love the smell of cherry when splitting then burning.

You don't see a lot of rotted Locust. I had a Honey Locust like that. It was hollow in one of the major branches. Most of it is pretty solid though.
 
When it's finally seasoned mix them together. Although locust seems to take another year or two to really season. Nice rounds though.

Yeah this was pretty solid except for a few pieces. Most of the locust around here doesn't get very big before it seems to die off.
