How stable is it after being cut? Have a score of it to cut and may save a few logs for the mill. I know its very rot resistant too.
What I've found... if a log has lots of limb/crotch sections, you'll want to heavily top weigh and/or strap it. I've gotten lots of bow/twist/cup (and the kitchen sink) in those instances. If it's a nice straight clear log, I get less of those tendencies. But I still sticker stack and use cinder block to keep flat.
Cancel the milling. Tree service took all the wood on the ground including a couple of mill logs. I turned the spar into firewood.
I had thought i heard it on here somewhere. I googled HL and this was the description under "timber" Timber[edit] Gleditsia triacanthos – MHNT Honey locusts produce a high quality, durable wood that polishes well, but the tree does not grow in sufficient numbers to support a bulk industry. However, a niche market exists for honey locust furniture. It is also used for posts and rails because of the dense, rot-resistant nature of the wood. In the past, the hard thorns of the younger trees were used as nails and the wood itself was used to fashion treenails for shipbuilding.[citation needed] I found a couple two year old rounds buried recently at storage and only the bark was loose and really little to no evidence of decay. Ground contact with no top cover either. Maybe the hybrids arent as rot resistant?
