All those pictures above with the nasty thorns on the trunk with the scaly bark kind of like a wimpy shagbark hickory is for sure Honey Locust. I have a LOT of it in our woods. Great firewood. Although it isn't as rot resistant as Black Locust, it will still last a LONG time even if used outdoors. Sometimes there is a punky rot in them that seems to radiate from an open wound or knot from a broken off or dead limb. I mill any larger trunks for lumber and most of them with straight unbroken bark are solid and the heartwood will last very well outdoors. I've made stuff from it for use indoors that looks like the day I cut it 10 years ago even without any finish on it. The grain is very nice and the quarter sawn with ray flecks is gorgeous. I have a couple hundred fence posts made from Honey Locust that I figure will last at least my lifetime. They are still solid after the 6 years we planted them for pasture fence. They're a beach to put fence staples in after they get dry and hard. Our farm was a cattle operation back in the 50's and I still have to pull out a solid Black Locust post here and there around the farm that are older than I am. I've even re-used some of those BL posts.
Thank you. His mom is a tri-color beagle and his father is a drive by shooter. I’m not a huge dog person, but he’s been a really good dog so far.
