Two afternoons cutting later.

Fresh locust is heavy ...
Had to noodle the big one because it isn't round enough to roll the rounds, and it was too heavy to pull/slide.

Almost there.
Well, then the splitting...

Yeah, I scored some honey locust a year and a half ago at the tree service I scrounged at for the the old place. 2 monster rounds that I thought were about 250lbs each turned out to be one just under and one just over 400lbs when I weighed the 1/6th's I vertically split them into. Couldn't run equipment on site. Rolled them to the trailer and flipped them in. Retroactive hernia...

I see 58 lbs per cubic foot for green BL.
A round of 30" dia.and 17" long then is 7 cubic foot, so 400-ish pounds.
Last year I had bigger red oak. I calculated the weight then and if I recall correctly, rounds were 500-600 lbs.
