    Nope all off of one tree as far as I know. Plus just went out there & there was a 3 " thorn coming out of it... It does kinda of resemble it from the bark.

    If it has 3" thorns it is honey locust and certainly not maple.


    I do prefer the domesticated thornless honey locust.

    That's the worse thing about this whole ordeal. The cleanup. Don't want any of those puppy hanging around, to go through shoes or tires....:mad:

    If next winter is like this one,
    You'll have some good wood ready to go :)
    (Am guessing CSS'd now, locust will be ready for next burn season ? )
    2 years might be more like it though.

    Actually should be about 3 or 4 years.... I'll be putting a lot of hours on the splitter this spring... I've got quite a bit already blocked that need to be split too about 16 foot long by 4 deep by about 3 to 4foot tall. Should get me back into business. But a person can't pass up easy wood.
