    Locust is the new hot thing. The fad will die off, and we’ll be back to discussing the rightful king Red Oak :thumbs:

    I say this after fighting off a Locust infection myself. Thankfully I was one of the lucky ones.

    Nice score. My favorite wood especially when it's cold out. I have quite a bit here in my neck of the woods. Have some ready to burn on those cold nights . It took 2 years for mine to dry out below 20

    Yep. I had driven by these spots several times. Finally learned what it looked like when we were up in the mountains on vacation

    I’m regularly surprised when I drive by one or a patch and had never noticed these trees that aren’t oak or maple LOL

    I can spot them from a mile away now. Not by bark, by limb structure, shape, leaves etc. BL is good at causing close calls when driving for us maniacs.
