We always just called this thorn, but now I'm wondering if it is honey locust.

This is the fun I had getting it down.

Yeah, that's Honey Locust...

On your felling pics, did you cut through your hinge or did the hinge pop when wedging it?

 

[Firefighter938]

It popped. I bet it was pretty comical watching me run away from the tree every time it would pop too.

Yeah that's some real nice honey locust, get it split ASAP.....it takes time to season properly, I'm going to burn mine next year, it will be at 3 years by then......

I got the top half of the tree c/s/s today. I'm going to have to go back latter to finish up the trunk. I'm not sure how good it will be, it was hollow and filled with old bee honeycomb. My parents neighbor has bee hives, so most of the hollow trees around them get filled when the bees swarm in the summer.

You have some great wood out of that one. It will probably " bee" fine. That locust really never gets punky.

I think Thorn would be a better name for the tree than Honey Locust.
