looks roughly correct to me

the fresh sapwood often has a greenish-yellow tinge on close examination, but that may not be as apparent if cut in winter

What makes you think it is black locust? I see nothing distinctive about the sawn logs looking more like Robinia than anything else.........

Not sure, but bark doesn't look right for B locust. Plus B locust often has a greenish tint to the wood -- don't see that here. Bark almost looks alittle like red or silver maple......

So if it isn 't black locust, what is it? Shoot, this guy is delivering it to my house today...

What could it be?

Can you show a close up of that twig?

I wouldn’t rule out BL, just not quite enough in that pic to say for sure.

tj

the bark of the logs nearest camera does not look ridged enough, but on the piece to the left, visually 'under' the loader arm, does look ridged enough to me. But I would want a closer picture to be sure.

The folks on Arborsite are saying it's honey locust... make sense?

Need closeups of bark, twig if available, cross-section of wood.

I can definitely see the honeylocust I.D. based on that one branch/twig laying on the trailer bed. Do you have that branch or has it already gone up in smoke? A close up picture of the buds would confirm.

actually there's an easy test to differentiate the two - the black locust twig would have thorns, the honey locust would not! close enough to tell in this pic? not sure

In Missouri, the above statement is not necessarily true. Both honey locust trees (with wicked thorns) and THORNLESS honey locust trees grow here. But I don’t know where in the world the OP is . . .

I will get the load of wood soon. He's been under the weather...

I see HL too....

Little bug I am in canada near toronto...

Good catch Little Bug. I forgot about that, that the normal 'honey locust' was also thorny; in fact more so than black locust.
